By the end of February, the volunteers of Heart2Heart held 132 conversations in English. This is, on average, 2.24 calls per evening.

We are excited that in February, the number of conversations increased by 50% compared to January. Compared to the German line on the English Hotline, more issues about relationships connected to violence and psychological problems came up. Only a minority were native English speakers. As far as we know, callers come from Taiwan, Israel, Greece, the US, or other countries.

We are very grateful to everybody promoting 0800 143 000, the new English Crisis Support Hotline Heart2Heart. For instance, at the beginning of March, World Radio Switzerland broadcasted an exciting podcast (https://www.worldradio.ch/listen-again/health-matters/episode/heart2heart/).
