Need help right now? — Vilo

Need help right now?

If you're going through something hard, you deserve support from a real person. The services below are confidential, most are free, and the people there are trained to listen.

Vilo can't help in an emergency

The characters in Vilo are AI. They aren't real people, they can't tell when you're in danger, and they can't call for help. They're no substitute for a friend, a doctor or a counsellor.

If you're in immediate danger

If you or someone else is at risk of harm right now, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency room:

United States and Canada: 911
Every EU country and Türkiye: 112
