Dharamshala: The Mental Health Desk of Department of Health, CTA is initiating tele-counselling helpline service for members of the Tibetan community who could be experiencing emotional distress, anxiety and are having difficulty coping with the challenges of the COVID-19 outbreak.

As the nature of this Wuhan-origin pandemic requires precautionary measures such as social distancing, isolation and suspension of day to day activities, these abrupt changes may take a toll on emotional and mental health.

To meet such challenges, the Department of Health has begun this initiative with the aim to provide emotional counselling and support.

If you are experiencing emotional crisis and anxiety related to COVID-19, please call the helpline numbers provided here.

Protect yourself and be supportive of others.
