SOS Estudante

SOS Estudante offers free, compassionate, and confidential support by phone. We support anyone who may be experiencing emotional distress or who simply needs someone to talk to, as long as they are able to speak Portuguese.

You can talk to us about any kind of experience. This may relate to mental health or everyday life — from a mental health crisis to general wellbeing concerns. Our support is completely free. We are dedicated to providing emotional support and to suicide prevention. If you are contemplating suicide, please reach out to us for help.

When you contact us, you will speak with one of our trained volunteers, who will listen with empathy and understanding and work together with you to find a meaningful way forward. Regardless of your age, gender, ethnicity, or religious beliefs, we offer a supportive, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can be heard.
