Doha, Qatar: Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) is proud to mark the 5th anniversary of the National Mental Health Helpline (NMHH). Launched in April 2020, the helpline, which currently receives over 2,000 calls per month, has become the primary access point for people seeking confidential Mental Health care and support in Qatar. The service is a lifeline for people seeking help on how to access mental health care and is very highly rated by people who have used the service.

The Helpline is a specialized mental health resource that is provided by HMC's Mental Health Service (MHS), it is staffed by a team of highly trained mental health professionals, including nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists, and allied health experts. The Helpline is open to anyone and offers rapid access to support for individuals experiencing mental health crises.

The Helpline not only offers specialized care at times of crises, but also guidance and advice on mental health services available to individuals and their families. As well as being the mainstream access service, the NMHH offers specialized support for women’s mental health and substance misuse, making it a comprehensive resource for anyone facing mental health challenges.

Dr. Majid Al Abdullah, Chairman of Psychiatry, HMC, said "The National Mental Health Helpline has become a vital support line for people across Qatar, offering immediate access to care when it's needed most. We know that having access to timely support through the Helpline helps people manage their mental health early - often preventing conditions from becoming more serious."
