From the Heart2Heart team, quarterly update Die Dargebotene Hand.
Calls on Heart2Heart - Volumes Increase by 75%
The need for an English helpline in Switzerland is huge: Between April and June 2025, our Heart2Heart (H2H) support line experienced a 75% increase in calls compared to the same period in 2024.
In this quarter, 56% of our callers reached out due to ongoing mental health challenges and difficulties coping with daily life, followed by challenges in relationships.
This significant rise underscores the growing need for safe, respectful support, and our team remains committed to responding with compassion, professionalism, and urgency.
Responding with Care:
After a difficult divorce and years of living abroad, one individual felt increasingly isolated - without family nearby, facing financial stress, and struggling with work and a troubled relationship. Life felt overwhelming and out of control.
Through Heart2Heart, they found a safe space to explore and understand their emotions, identify small and manageable steps, and reclaim a sense of autonomy. They ended the phone call feeling heard - and no longer alone.
Another university student recently reached out to Heart2Heart while struggling with intense academic and family pressure. Overwhelmed and experiencing intense suicidal thoughts, they felt trapped and uncertain where to turn.
Connecting with H2H, they explored how they could begin to prioritize their own well-being, set boundaries, and take small but meaningful steps toward longer-term support.

The Gift Box Project will be collected between 4-17 November 2025. Tyrrian Livesley continues to make a difference in children's lives over the last 29 years. We write an article each year and are happy to bring this cause to our readers' attention.
The gift box project is simple: You prepare presents, and they are taken to children in Eastern Europe who are enduring difficult times. "Our common goal is to make them happy", Tyrrian tells us.
A year has passed and the world is still topsy-turvy leaving many families in dire need. So we are reaching out for your help with the Gift Boxes.
We cannot help everyone, but we can at least help some of the children living through war in terrible conditions without clean water or heating, and winter not far off. This is such a hard life for young children, many without the love of their families.
Let us give a little joy, happiness and laughter to as many needy children as we can in Ukraine and in Moldova. Last year with your help we sent almost 2,500 Gift Boxes to children, bringing them a little light, and a lot of love. Hopefully with your aid we can do even better this year!
Please help us by making a Gift Box brimming with their needs (see list below). Your donation - whether a complete box, a selection of the contents, or a monetary contribution - will certainly enable more of these youngsters to smile.
“One more box = one more happy child.”
