Emergency mental health and crisis support in Ukraine

War is harrowing. Everyone needs support in times of crisis - in the moment help and to begin to prevent longer-term impact.

We’re sharing a number of local resources to help support the mental health and wellbeing of those affected by the current international crisis.

From emergency contacts to confidential support - there is help available.

Lifeline Ukraine

Lifeline Ukraine runs a free suicide prevention and mental health support helpline.
The service is primarily to provide support for veterans of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, and their family members. But they do not ask any caller about their eligibility to use the service – if you are in need of help, they are here for you.
