The situation of confinement due to the coronavirus has an impact on our lives because it involves a drastic change in routines, uncertainty and a modification of the relational patterns that we had until recently.
We want to provide residents with the resources prepared by the Official College of Psychology of Galicia (COPG) – both for the general population and for specific groups such as children or the elderly – to help them deal with this new situation in the best possible way.
We also inform that the Xunta de Galicia has launched a psychological care device via the 112 telephone number. It is now accessible to anyone who needs it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The service is provided by professionals from the Official College of Psychology of Galicia.
We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that the Ministry of Equality has two telephone numbers to offer Immediate psychological support via Whatsapp for people suffering from gender-based violence. The telephone numbers are 682 916 136 and 682 508 507.
