If a call doesn’t connect
Try the alternate Tele-MANAS number or the other service above. Lines can be busy. If you cannot stay safe, call 112 or go to an emergency department rather than waiting for a helpline.
While you reach out
- If you can, stay with someone you trust and tell them you need support.
- Move away from anything you could use to hurt yourself, and ask someone to help make your surroundings safer.
- You can start a call with: “I’m having a difficult time and I need someone to listen.” If you feel unsafe, tell them that first.
These services are operated independently of Anxio. Anxio does not monitor this page or dispatch emergency help. You can ask the service how it handles privacy before sharing personal details.
