The UAE has launched a mental health support hotline for individuals struggling during the pandemic.

The service, launched by the National Programme for Happiness and Wellbeing, is available in English and Arabic.

Ohoud bint Khalfan Al Roumi, Minister of State for Happiness and Wellbeing, highlighted the importance of helping individuals with mental health conditions, particularly in light of the impact COVID-19 has had on their psychological wellbeing.
