The Wroclaw City Office encourages the use of free helpline by persons who do not cope with the current situation and need psychological or psychiatric support at the time of the pandemic.

Free telephone helpline is available to anyone having difficulties with coping with the current situation and needing support. Calls are taken by psychologists, senior citizens can talk to volunteers on the Don’t Be Alone helpline and they are special hotlines with specialists helping those who are being abused.

Professional help is offered by Wroclaw psychologists with years-long experience. ‘Everyone who needs support and advice, for whom this period of epidemic threat is particularly difficult, can call our helplines. This refers also to seniors, for whom it is an especially hard time,’ says Beata Nawrotkiewicz from the Wroclaw Centre for Social Development. ‘Psychologists do not provide information concerning the current coronavirus situation – they offer only psychological support,’ she adds.
