The Psychological Helpline service is an initiative of the Asido Foundation that provides psychological First Aid to people in emotional distress by connecting them with a mental health professional. The helpline is handled by our trained volunteers who serve as the first responders who assess the nature of the calls and transfer severe cases to mental health professionals. Although Asido Foundation has trained mental health professionals as part of its team, the helpline is for emotional support and does not replace, equate or supercede in person consultation with your mental health provider.
