If you're in immediate danger

If you or someone you're with is in immediate physical danger, please call emergency services or get to your nearest hospital emergency department right away — don't wait for a callback.

Call 112 (National Emergency Number) Call 14416 (Tele MANAS)

This page cannot provide crisis intervention or emergency care — Inner Ray Space is a private counselling practice, not a crisis service, and we're not able to monitor this website in real time. The organisations below are staffed specifically for moments like this, many of them 24 hours a day. Please reach out to them, or to someone you trust, right now if you need to.

A note on these listings: we've listed the most current numbers we could verify at the time of writing, gathered from government and established non-profit sources. Helpline numbers do occasionally change — if one doesn't connect, please try another on this list, or dial 112. We can't guarantee the confidentiality practices, availability, or specific approach of any individual organisation below; please ask them directly about how they handle your call if that matters to you.
