Helplines in Moldova
If anyone is in immediate danger, call 112 for an ambulance, the police or the fire service. This register has not confirmed a national telephone line for emotional support, but Linia Verde pentru Prevenirea Suicidului accepts messages at any hour through its website, with volunteer counsellors who focus on suicidal thoughts and crisis.
Most services here work in Romanian. The exception is that online suicide prevention service, which lists Romanian, English and Russian. If you need help by phone and don't speak Romanian, call 112 in an emergency anyway; emergency services usually find a way to help.
