Concerned about a loved one's mental health? Contact a hotline in Greece for guidance.

Watching a loved one experience what resembles an emotional crisis can be hard. It's normal to be worried and to wonder how and whether you can help. There are 5 hotlines in Greece that you can contact for free advice, if your loved one is experiencing any of the following:

• They appear to be consumed by their thoughts and in their own world.
• They don’t seem to be keeping up with their daily responsibilities.
• They seem emotionally distant.
• They have suddenly lost or gained a lot of weight.
• They've recently experienced a significant life event like a break up or a death.
• They seem to believe things that seem very strange or frightening to you.
