Safety & Support

Last updated: 31 May 2026

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 112 (India's national emergency number) right now, or go to your nearest hospital.

RAAW is a place to be honest about how you feel — including the hard days. But RAAW is not a crisis service, and it is not a substitute for professional mental-health care. If you're struggling, please reach out to one of the free, confidential helplines below.
