1564. Memorize this phone number and be sure to pass it on to everyone around – you could be saving a life!
Under the campaign slogan, “Talking Saves Lives”, the NGO
Embrace has established the Embrace LifeLine, Lebanon’s first mental health crisis and suicide prevention hotline.
This is a very important first step in combating the stigma around mental health issues in Lebanon, and starting an honest and open conversation that will hopefully not only save many lives, but also improve the quality of life for those struggling.
The volunteer operators undergo rigorous specialized active listening and suicide risk assessment training. Individuals interested in serving as volunteer helpline operators can email info@embracefund.org – they are looking for dedicated individuals willing to commit for a year at minimum.

Remember that the hotline number is
1564, and operates between the hours of 12:00 pm and 2:00 am.
