On behalf of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, Dialogic is investigating the possibilities of making the number 113 free and anonymous. The number 113 is designated for suicide prevention assistance as of April 2020. This decision stemmed from the confusion among the public caused by the prominent use of the digits 113 in the name of the foundation 113 Suicide Prevention, in combination with the information they provided. Since July 1, 2020, the foundation 113 Suicide Prevention can be reached via the number 113 and the toll-free and anonymous number 0800-0113. Previously, 113 Suicide Prevention was only accessible via the number 0900-0113. The research will map out various scenarios regarding the feasibility and associated (implementation) costs of potentially making the number 113 free and anonymous.
