About Befrienders Mauritius

Befrienders Mauritius is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing emotional support, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention services to individuals in distress. We exist to listen, to care, and to ensure that no one faces their struggles alone.

We offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for people experiencing emotional pain, loneliness, anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts. Through trained volunteers and community outreach, we strive to reduce stigma and promote mental well-being across Mauritius.
