Emotional support and emergencies in Brazil
This app cannot safely assess a crisis. In Brazil, if there is an immediate risk that someone may hurt themselves, call 192 (SAMU) or go to an emergency care unit (UPA) or emergency department. If there is violence or an immediate threat to safety, call 190. For emotional support, call 188 (CVV, free, 24 hours a day). For care near you, look for a UBS or the CAPS in your area; the first visit to CAPS does not require an appointment. If you can and it is safe, ask someone you trust to stay with you.
