THE Ministry of Health (MoH) has launched its first emotional support system, ‘Talian Harapan 145’.

Talian Harapan 145 is aimed at providing the latest information on the mental health services available in Brunei; advice and counselling for personal, social and emotional problems; emergency services and assistance for callers; a safe space to discuss caller problems; and advisory services to people with possible suicidal tendencies.

The new hotline will be handled by mental health professionals on a daily basis from 8am till 11pm, with privacy ensured for the callers. It will also be monitored from time to time, for additional hours of service.

For more information, contact Talian Harapan at 145, the Darussalam line at 123 or visit the MoH website at www.moh.gov.bn.
