Befrienders KK operates a telephone crisis hotline service for people who are suicidal or emotionally distressed. Troubled members of the public can speak to a volunteer trained to listen and help regardless of age, gender, race etc, in total anonymity, with confidentiality and without judgement.
The crisis hotline is handled by Listening Volunteers trained to listen and empathize with callers who are stressed and/or depressed. Listening Volunteers go through compulsory training and are evaluated by senior volunteers before they become listening volunteer. They provide emotional support and encourage callers to voice their problems while continuing to give them confidence. All calls are confidential
