You can take this one step at a time.
Where do I start?
Choose India or Global, then your state or country. You can call directly from a resource card, or open details for hours, languages and other ways to reach the service.
What if someone is in immediate danger?
In India, call 112 or go to the nearest emergency department. For a child in distress, call 1098. Outside India, use the local emergency number.
What if a service does not answer?
Try another listed service. Check its hours and location in Details. If someone cannot stay safe, use emergency services rather than waiting for a reply.
What should I check before contacting a service?
Confirm hours, eligibility and costs on the official website. Details may change. Share only what is needed to get help. The directory does not guarantee availability, confidentiality or quality of care.
Can I ask Helpie a question?
Open the Helpie contact form for non-urgent questions or corrections. This is not an emergency response service.
If the finder does not load, you can still call Tele MANAS 14416, India emergency 112, Child helpline 1098, or find a helpline worldwide.
