Prioritized listing

Status: source checked

Prioritized routing selects the first source-checked or cross-referenced listing in category order: suicide crisis, mental health, domestic violence, sexual violence, child protection, then general support. It then uses the first listing in that category order, or the first dataset listing. This does not determine suitability, eligibility, live availability, or provide medical advice.

Traveller note: Most hotlines listed here require a local Belgium phone number or SIM card. If calling from abroad, you may need to dial your country's international exit code followed by the Belgium country code, and some free-call numbers may not connect internationally. Emergency access varies by carrier and SIM status; verify current local guidance.
