Community Help Service (24 Hour service)
Hotline: +32 (0) 2 648 40 14

Community Help Service (CHS) is a non-profit organisation established in 1971 as a resource for the English-speaking expatriate population of Belgium. Since then it has developed its telephone Helpline, its Mental Health Centre and its Educational Testing Services to encompass the many different expatriate communities in Belgium who find it easier to use English rather than one of the official languages of Belgium. Since CHS has been in existence it has built up an expertise, second to none, in providing solutions, through therapeutic support, to the range of difficulties encountered by the people who turn to it in times of stress.

Telefonhilfe
Hotline: 108

Telephone help is a special form of life help. It has existed in the German-speaking community since 1989. It received its emergency number 108 in 1994. If you have a problem, are depressed or stressed, feel alone and lonely, seek emotional support or an open ear, then the employees are available to everyone regardless of their view of life and belief around the clock, at any time of the day or night. The approximately 40 volunteers are subject to strict anonymity and absolute confidentiality. They are not specialists and do not want to replace counseling centres, but rather draw people who are looking for help to these specialists and institutions. The employees consider it their duty to take all callers seriously in their respective situation, to assist them in the event of a crisis and to respect their anonymity. The offer consists of listening and clarifying, encouraging, supporting and leading to your own decision.
