With the most recent horrific war events in Lebanon in 2024 and cumulative crises over the years, mental health and suicide are growing concerns in Lebanon. With the services being provided by the National Lifeline and the Embrace Mental Health Center, we are providing emotional support and direct mental health services to more than 1500 persons monthly who are suffering from suicidality and mental illness. Our awareness and outreach efforts allow us to enhance early detection and prevention of mental illness and provide communities the opportunity to enjoy a better quality of life. We hope to reach a larger number of people in need who have been impacted by the cumulative crises and continue our mission of providing equitable access to mental health care across the country. Your contribution counts. Together, we can make a difference.

I am so thankful to have my first therapy experience with Embrace.
Thank you for helping me with the therapy, the medication and even during lockdown.
Keep up the great work! We live in a world where everything is about money, so I am very thankful to get this amazing help from the best NGO.
I want to thank Embrace for helping me get on track when I desperately called them last week.
