SOS Voz Amiga alerts about suicide among men over 60

RTP Notícias8 September 2026 at 07:10

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

The organization alerted to the vulnerability of men over 60 years old, 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.
