Support through challenging times
MIELI’s national channels provide support when you need help with discussions in a crisis or difficult life situation.
You can remain anonymous if you wish. Contact us, for example, when:
- your life has just changed and you are feeling down
- you have experienced a shocking event you feel that
- you cannot cope alone with fear, worry or sadness
- you have suicidal thoughts
- you are worried about a loved one.
Online support for difficult life situations. Single-session support via MIELI Crisis Chat or short-term assistance via MIELI Crisis Email.
You can book an appointment with a crisis worker at your local crisis center or for a remote consultation if you’re going through a difficult time.
If you are an English speaker living in Finland, online one-to-one crisis support is available via video or phone counselling. You can book a remote crisis appointment with a crisis counsellor if you need support in a difficult life situation.
Support at MIELI’s Crisis Centers
You can book an appointment with a crisis worker at your local crisis center or for a remote consultation if you’re going through a difficult time.
Crisis centre provides low threshold counselling in difficult life situations and crises.
You can talk confidentially with a crisis worker during a few sessions either in person or via remote appointments. The conversations are free of charge, and no referral is needed.
In acute situations, contact the emergency department
In situations requiring medical care, contact the emergency department of your local hospital. In acute crisis situations, contact the emergency number 112 or your local crisis emergency service. If you already have a healthcare provider, please contact your own service first.
