Lebanon’s Mental Health Emergency Response
War and displacement are reshaping daily life across Lebanon.
Families are leaving their homes, shelters are overcrowded, and communities are under attack. The psychological toll is immense.
Every day, people across the country reach out for mental health support because they feel overwhelmed, trapped, or alone.
When they reach out, Embrace answers.
As the crisis deepens, the demand for mental health support is rising rapidly. Embrace is mobilizing its teams across Lebanon to respond through crisis intervention, emergency psychiatric care, and support for displaced communities.
Your support helps ensure that no one in Lebanon faces their darkest moments alone.

When Someone Reaches Out for Help
In a single day, our team may hear from:
- A displaced mother living in a car with her children because shelters are full
- A teenager who has attempted suicide
- A family calling from a neighborhood under attack with nowhere safe to go
- Someone preparing to end their life before choosing to pick up the phone
In Lebanon today, Embrace provides critical emotional support and serves as one of the first points of access to the broader health and social protection system.
Our trained responders provide suicide intervention, crisis support, psychiatric referrals, and connections to humanitarian services.
And during war, these calls only increase.
