Services & Support Networks

If this is an emergency

Call 1990 for an ambulance, or 1926 for the National Mental Health Helpline. Sri Lanka Sumithrayo can be reached on 011 269 6666 for confidential emotional support.

National services

The two national bodies responsible for mental health services and policy in Sri Lanka.

Support networks

Organisations offering counselling, emotional support and practical help — including support for family members in their own right, not only as carers.

Who does what

Recovery rarely rests on one person or one institution. This section sets out the part each plays.

Content pending The project brief asks for “Mental Health Services — National, Regional with contact details”, but only the Manaveli address at Base Hospital Tellippalai was supplied. A directory of clinics across Jaffna and the surrounding districts — with addresses, clinic days and telephone numbers — is the single most practically useful thing still missing from this site. The layout above is ready to receive it.
