A toll-free integrated counseling line, with no area code, for anyone - yourself or someone you know - dealing with mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, or stress, or facing a suicide crisis. Since January 2024, the former Mental Health Counseling Line (1577-0199) and the Suicide Prevention Counseling Line have been merged into this single number, 109. Calling connects you immediately to a counselor, who will refer you to local resources such as a mental health welfare center or psychiatric hospital if needed. The call is free, and it operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
