The link with suicide prevention becomes free throughout the country

Links to the Center for the Assessment of Life (CVV), which helps prevent suicide, have become free throughout the country. A technical cooperation agreement with the Ministry of Health, signed in 2017, allowed free access to the service, provided by telephone 188.

In number, people who are anxious, depressed or at risk of suicide speak to the volunteers of the institution and receive advice. Before that, the service was loaded and provided through 141.

The free connection to the CVV began to be implanted in Santa Maria (RS) four years ago after the fire of the Kiss nightclub which killed 242 young people. The center has been in existence for 55 years and has more than 2,000 volunteers working in the field of suicide prevention.
