Before you call

What is the NCMH crisis hotline number?

The National Center for Mental Health Crisis Hotline is 1553 from a landline, free of charge. On mobile, call 0917 899 8727 or 0966 351 4518 (Globe and TM) or 0908 639 2672 (Smart, Sun and TNT). It is open 24 hours.

What do I say when I call?

You can start with "Kailangan ko po ng kausap" or "I need someone to talk to." You do not need the right words. The person on the line will guide you, in Filipino or English.

What if someone else is in danger right now?

Call 911. Stay with the person if it is safe to do so, remove things they could use to hurt themselves, and keep talking with them until help arrives.

I am outside the Philippines. Where can I call?

Find a Helpline (findahelpline.com) lists free, confidential lines in your country. If you are in danger, call your local emergency number.

Glim is a place for reflection, not emergency care. When you are ready, a daily kumusta or a short check-in can help you notice how you are doing.
