Samaritans Mumbai is known for being a dedicated helpline that provides emotional support to individuals experiencing stress, distress, depression, or suicidal thoughts. Established in 1968, it was the first branch of The Samaritans, UK, outside of England, and was previously known as Samaritans Bombay and Samaritans Sahara. The helpline is recognized for offering a free professional counseling service, where individuals can call +91-84229-84527 between 10 AM and 4 PM, Monday to Friday, to schedule an appointment with trained counselors who are ready to listen, understand, and provide care.

Samaritans Mumbai is a fully qualified member of Befriender India, under the umbrella of Befrienders Worldwide. The organization is known for working closely with sister organizations in India and globally to support mental health and provide a listening ear to those in need.

Individuals can contribute by organizing outreach programs in the community, spreading the word about the services to friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors, and sharing personal experiences if affected by suicide to help others and reduce stigma. No matter what you are going through, you can speak to Samaritans Mumbai. You are not alone.

This helpline is currently not operational. If this helpline becomes operational again, we'll try to update this page..

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of concerns can I call a helpline for?
You can call a helpline for emotional distress, overwhelming sadness, panic, grief, loneliness, relationship challenges, thoughts of self-harm, or simply when you need someone safe to listen. You do not need to be in an acute medical emergency to call; helplines exist to offer a non-judgmental listening ear when you feel alone.
Does TheMindClan operate the helplines listed on the website?
No. TheMindClan does not operate, manage, or staff any helpline. We curate a directory of active, community-reported helplines run by independent non-profit organizations and mental health institutions across India.
While our team regularly calls listed helplines to check that their numbers and operational hours are working, these services function independently.
What personal information should I avoid sharing with a helpline?
Most crisis helplines are designed to be confidential and anonymous. As a general safety practice, you do not need to disclose your full name, home address, banking information, or place of work. Share only what feels comfortable and necessary for you to receive emotional support.
What should I do if a helpline does not answer?
Many helplines in India are run by dedicated volunteers and can experience high call volumes during evening hours. If a number does not connect, try another service from our Helplines directory.
If you or someone you know is in immediate physical danger or experiencing severe medical distress, please visit the nearest hospital emergency room or contact trusted local emergency services.
