خط الحياة

The National Lifeline for Suicide Prevention and Emotional Support in Lebanon is operated by EMBRACE in partnership with the National Mental Health Programme at the Ministry of Public Health. It is free, confidential and anonymous, and available 24/7.

More than 2.000 calls reach the Lifeline every month, from people of all ages and from every region of Lebanon.

Calls to the National Lifeline are recorded for quality assurance and research purposes. Every caller’s information is kept confidential, in line with Lebanese data protection law and the strict confidentiality standards that govern mental health professionals in Lebanon.

Our trained volunteer operators listen to each caller and provide:

  • Immediate emotional support and suicide de-escalation, through active listening, suicide risk assessment, collaborative problem solving, safety planning and hope building. 
  • Referral to nearby services, connecting callers with mental health and protection services available close to where they live, that fit their needs.
  • Emergency response, where the Lifeline can dispatch the National Mobile Crisis Teams to callers at imminent risk in parts of Beirut, Mount Lebanon, Tripoli and Saida. 

    We want every caller to receive high-quality support, and your experience matters to us. To share feedback or make a complaint about the National Lifeline 1564, email us at info@thelifeline1564.com or call the Ministry of Public Health hotline on 1214.

THE NATIONAL LIFELINE’S MISSION

In Lebanon, on average, one person dies by suicide every 2.1 days and one person attempts suicide every 6 hours. Yet suicide remains a taboo subject, and stigma or shame keeps thousands of people from reaching out for support.

Our Mission is to:
  • Break the silence. Raise awareness about suicide in Lebanon, so that more people feel able to ask for help and know where to find it.

  • Protect dignity. Ensure that people experiencing suicidal thoughts are treated with respect, free of judgment or discrimination, and empowered to make their own choices about their psychological and psychosocial wellbeing.

  • Listen and connect. Offer a safe, confidential space where anyone struggling with suicidal thoughts is heard with empathy and linked to community services for ongoing psychological or social-protection support.

  • Stand with those left behind. Support people who have lost someone to suicide, as they cope with their grief, so they know they do not have to face this loss alone.
  • THE NATIONAL LIFELINE’S VISION

    • A Lebanon where every person in emotional distress is heard, understood and supported and where no life is lost to suicide.

    • A leading center of excellence in suicide prevention in Lebanon and the region, advancing training and research in suicide awareness, assessment and prevention and in the safe and ethical use of AI into suicide prevention and crisis care.
