If you are in a crisis yourself, it is important to remain calm and not make any important decisions. Get in touch with someone else and seek professional support. If you are supporting someone in crisis, it is equally important to remain calm, support as much as possible and involve professional support.
The Berliner Krisendienst is open daily and gives support either by telephone or in person in one of the organization's advice centers. An appointment is not needed the service is free and, if you prefer, anonymous. It is particularly useful for anyone requiring advice and support in the evenings and during the night. The service is organized by district (see link) and can be reached between 16:00 and 24:00.
