3114: a new national suicide prevention number

The 3114 is a free telephone number, accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It allows people in psychological distress to exchange and find an appropriate response with psychiatric and mental health professionals (psychiatrists, specialized nurses and psychologists).

This new toll-free number is intended to complement the VigilanS system, created in 2015 in the Hauts-de-France region, for the recall and follow-up of people who have attempted suicide. Currently deployed in 12 out of 13 metropolitan regions and two overseas regions, it will be extended to all regions by the end of 2021
