The Regional Directorate of Health and Health Services of the Autonomous Region of Madeira (DRS), today reminded everyone that the Covid-19, Psychological Support Helpline is available to all those who need to talk, especially as the pandemic has created profound upheaval in people’s lives, family and work situations.
Furthermore, the diagnosis of Covid-19, the isolation, and other restrictions including shielding and self-isolation all exert physiological pressures on everyone, and these can be difficult to manage, stated the DRS, and the aim of the line is to help promote psychological resilience, increase feelings of security and guide, support, and where necessary refer people to additional sources of help.
