Looking for help?
Our members and volunteers around the world provide confidential support to people in emotional crisis or distress, or those close to them.
Welcome to
Befrienders Worldwide
We believe in giving a person the opportunity to explore feelings which can cause distress, the importance of being listened to, in confidence, anonymously, and without prejudice.
We value that a person has the fundamental decision about their own life.
