I was under the same impression: local support hotlines are probably not
going to be helpful in countries that do not have a strong multilingual
public services offering culture. It would work in Canada where both
French and English are official languages that you can demand to be
served in, but I doubt the same could be said about France.
Besides, when we're talking about psychological intervention,
proficiency with the language (not "elementary" skill) is a requirement.

The rest of the policy sounds fine to me.
