SOS Voz Amiga alerts to suicide among men over 60

SAPO Notícias8 September 2026 at 06:00

The SOS Voz Amiga Line will provide 48 hours of continuous listening to mark World Suicide Prevention Day. The initiative aims to strengthen the support provided to people going through moments of crisis.

The organization alerted to the vulnerability of men over 60, a group that faces help needs but rarely actively seeks it. This pattern represents a significant challenge in suicide prevention.

The helpline functions as an emotional support resource, offering active listening and follow-up to those in need. The 48 hours of continuous operation aim to ensure that no one is left without a response in a moment of vulnerability.
