An anonymous online psychological support chat "We're With You Online" has started operating in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The initiative was implemented by the regional Ministry of Education and Science and is aimed at helping adolescents facing emotional difficulties.
Earlier the project was announced by the region's Minister of Education, Mikhail Puchkov.
The chat is available daily from 15:00 to 21:00. During this time, children and teenagers can anonymously communicate with qualified specialists to share their concerns and receive support.
The regional Ministry of Education and Science emphasized that help can be sought in any emotional state and in various situations: difficult relationships with family or friends, self-harm or suicidal thoughts, complicated life circumstances, problems at school or with self-esteem.
Parents are also urged to pay attention to their children's emotional state. If you notice that a teenager is going through difficulties, tell them about the chat — your support may be the first step toward resolving the problem.
In addition to the chat, the helpline continues to operate — 8-800-2000-122, as well as the short number 124. All inquiries remain anonymous.
Recall that a case of bullying of a sixth-grade girl in one of the schools in the Vetluzhsky district recently sparked public outcry. At first the girl was bullied at school, and then the insults moved to a Telegram channel read by hundreds of users.
