They are trained by professionals to provide a quality listening service that is anonymous, confidential, non-directive and non-judgmental.

So if amongst all that clinking of wine glasses, you are feeling a little down, we’re just a phone call away.

If you feel our service can be of help to you, call us on 01 46 21 46 46 from 3 to 11 pm.

SOS Help’s aim is to alleviate anxiety and prevent suicide. Founded in 1974 by a group of American and British health professionals, with the help of Chad Varah, founder of the Samaritans, SOS Help is a non-profit organization recognized under the French law of 1901. It is a branch of France’s SOS Amitié Federation and is linked to the Samaritans and a member of Befrienders Worldwide. For more information, visit www.soshelpline.org
