ENGLISH-SPEAKING | CONFIDENTIAL | ANONYMOUS
Our confidential, and anonymous helpline offers English-language support for all ages. Our trained volunteers provide a judgment-free space to talk about loneliness, anxiety, grief, or any challenges you’re facing including suicidal
thoughts. If you're concerned about someone else, we can guide you to helpful resources.
Our volunteers are waiting for your call.
Based in Brussels, we offer a team of mental health professionals with expertise in a wide range of fields and for all ages. Appointments are available for individuals, couples, and families.
OUR CLINICAL TEAM
Our team of professional psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists can help with diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation in a wide range of mental-health related problems.
OUR AFFILIATED PROFESSIONALS
We also offer access to a team of experts providing consultations and classes in coaching, family mediation, mindfulness and nutrition.
Join us at dawn on May 10 for Darkness into Light, a global walk raising vital funds for mental health support and suicide prevention.
In Belgium, all proceeds will go to CHS. Together, we can make a difference – your support can save lives.
Our volunteers spend around 100 hours a month with callers to our
24/7 Helpline. On average, at least one call per day is from someone who is
feeling suicidal. The Helpline relies exclusively on donations. Whatever you
can give will help us to be a real lifeline for someone in need. Donate today
and be part of the change.

If volunteering is not for you, there are other ways you can support CHS
and make a difference. Please consider helping to raise awareness of
our CHS 24/7 Helpline, so those in need know where to turn.
Sometimes, a simple conversation or sharing a social media post can
save a life. Or maybe organise a fundraiser, like a charity run, bake sale,
or online campaign. Every effort counts, and together, we can ensure
help is always within reach.
