The OASI Foundation of Gozo is asking those out there who need someone to talk to, to either call on their number 21563333 or else send a message on OASI Foundation’s Facebook page and someone will call them back.

OASI said that “with all that is happening around us with the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, sometimes things can seem overwhelming and people might feel that they can’t cope. Whether it is just one bad day or ongoing mental health problems, a person needs support.”

“Ideally, it’s not good to spend too much time alone especially when one is feeling low and vulnerable and during these times one needs to be able to talk to someone.”

“Also, one might not like asking for help or not want to burden other people,” OASI said. “One might worry about what others might think or have difficulty talking to them, concerned as to what they could tell others or even worse concerned that they might get laughed at.”

“But the truth is, that people who care about you will want to help you and there are also people out there who are still available to listen to you and help you in any way they can.”

OASI stressed that “we know that sometimes it may be difficult to talk about one’s feelings. But in reality a problem shared is a problem halved and you’ll probably feel better simply talking to someone.”

The Foundation said, “when you’re feeling down, it’s important that you are not struggling on your own. Just ask for some help. We are here to help.”
