About this facility
- Hours
- 8am-10pm All days
- Mission
- Sneha extends emotional support to the depressed, desperate and suicidal when they feel there is no one to turn to. They need someone with whom they can share their pain and misery in confidence; someone who would listen, understand and accept them unconditionally. Infact, talking about their debilitating feelings can be the first step to resolving them.

Notes
SNEHA has been working in the field of suicide intervention for the past 21 years. Since its inception in 1986, over 1,50,000 people have utilised our services.
The centre is entirely manned by volunteers and runs solely with the help of public donations. A careful screening process is undertaken periodically, to select volunteers from all walks of life. These volunteers are then trained and equipped with the necessary skills needed to handle the befriending needs of the caller.
SNEHA is open 24 hours a day for telephone calls and from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. for visits every day, through the year.
There are around 50 volunteers working for SNEHA currently. The information shared by the callers is held in strict confidence and the identity of each caller is carefully protected within the four walls of SNEHA.
Sneha is open on all 365 days of the year.
Contact can be made by visit, over telephone, through email or by letter.
Confidentiality and anonymity are assured.
Sneha is a non-political, non-religious organisation.
Our services are absolutely free.
