🌍 Europe – Mental Health & Crisis Support Directory
💬 You Are Not Alone
Across every corner of Europe — whether you’re living in a big city, a quiet village, or somewhere in between — mental health matters. And so do you.
This guide connects you with free, trustworthy, and accessible services in countries throughout Europe, including helplines, therapy directories, inclusive support, and digital resources. Whatever you’re facing, you are not alone, and support is always just a call or click away.
If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact your country’s emergency number (often 112 in Europe).
