Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer?
We believe that people in suicidal crisis need a human support circle around them, and that suicidal thoughts should not be faced alone. Our services offer online interventions that help build a supportive community and reduce suicide risk.
What is a Single Session Intervention?
This is a one-hour online consultation meeting (via Google Meet) that provides a safe space to share what is happening, conduct a joint risk assessment, and think together about the right supports – both within and beyond MOSHE.
What is a Circle Session Intervention?
The community circle supports a person at risk of suicide together with their close network. Its goal is to reduce risk by creating a safe, supportive structure to face the crisis.
The process lasts about three weeks and includes three online sessions and a dedicated WhatsApp group for ongoing support. The circle typically includes 3-5 people from the person’s community, alongside three MOSHE team members.
Who can contact you?
Anyone who is concerned about suicide risk, for themselves or for someone else. There is no “correct” threshold. Concern is enough to reach out. The service is currently available to people in Israel.
How can I contact you?
Via WhatsApp:
https://wa.me/97223819999
Do you offer therapy?
No. When needed, we help connect and refer people to appropriate mental health professionals and services.
Can I get immediate help?
MOSHE is not an emergency response service. Meetings are scheduled in advance, but you can reach out at any time via the contact form to begin the process.
Who will I meet?
Our services are delivered by a professional team together with trained volunteers (“Moshas”) who have completed dedicated training and have hands-on experience supporting people in crisis.
Does the service cost?
No. All services are provided free of charge.
How does WhatsApp support work?
WhatsApp is used to connect you to the appropriate support within MOSHE. It is not a standalone helpline. Human support is available Sunday-Thursday, 8:30-16:00.
Where are you located?
Our services are provided nationwide and fully online.
What if I don’t have a community? Can MOSHE still help me?
Yes. No one should be left alone. We believe that a lack of belonging is often part of suicidal pain, and part of our work together is to build a supportive community around you.
What if I’m not sure this is about suicide?
If there is any doubt, it’s worth checking. It is always better to reach out, think together, and find clarity than to miss something important.
I think I want help, but I’m not sure - what should I do?
Ambivalence is a natural part of suicidal crisis, a back-and-forth between wanting to live and wanting the pain to stop. You don’t need to be certain. We are here to sit with you in that uncertainty.
Do you report to the police?
In cases of immediate danger, we first use the community-based tools we believe in. If additional support is needed, we will stay with you and, together, involve emergency services to create a protective barrier. This is done openly, respectfully, and with sensitivity.
In which languages is the service available?
At this stage, full services are available in Hebrew.
Is contacting you anonymous?
We understand the fear of being exposed. At the same time, we believe that secrecy can make coping harder, so contact is not anonymous. We are fully committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining confidentiality.
What should I do in an immediate emergency?
If there is immediate risk, please contact emergency services, a crisis helpline, or go to the nearest emergency room.
