The Indian Workers Resources Centre (IWRC) also runs a support line. Originally set up for Indians, the call centre caters to residents of all nationalities. The hotline can be reached at 800 46342.
In Abu Dhabi, residents can seek psychological support through the Estijaba helpline, which can be reached by dialling 8001717. The Abu Dhabi health authority Seha's staff members provide services over the phone.
