In many languages, Boloh means speak. If you are a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic child ( 11+ ), young person, parent or carer, affected by Covid-19? you can speak to Barnado’s new helpline about your worries, problems and stresses during the pandemic.
For example if you have experienced bereavement, ill health, feeling down or anxious about the lockdown, feeling isolated, worried about friends or family, concerned about your finances, unemployment, experienced bullying or racism, issues with homelessness or eviction, worried about returning to school/university or any other issue.
If you need advice or someone to talk to, you can call 0800 1512605 or have a live online webchat Mon-Fri, from 1pm-8pm. On the phone, helpline advisors can talk to you in English, Urdu, Punjabi or Hindi.
Psychotherapists can provide therapeutic support in English, Hindi, Bengali, French and Punjabi.
