What this service does for you

PUK Zürich takes calls 24 hours a day from adults who are in a mental health crisis. This can happen, for example, after the stress of a stroke or when caring for a relative becomes too exhausting. Specialists provide advice over the phone, assess how urgent the situation is, and arrange quick admission if needed. There is a separate emergency helpline for children and young people. Calling is also a good idea if you are unsure whether the situation is serious enough.
