Struggling with trauma and PTSD? Contact a free helpline in Malawi for support

Trauma and PTSD can be complicated to deal with. That’s why there are 3 specialized hotlines in Malawi, with trained responders to help you deal with traumatic experiences. You might be experiencing:

  • A sensation of emotional numbness
  • Experiencing 'hypervigilance' or extreme alertness
  • Blaming yourself for what happened to you
  • Finding it hard to concentrate
  • Experiencing emotions that you went through during the trauma
  • Avoiding places that remind you of a traumatic event
  • Self-harming or destructive behaviour
  • Repetitive thoughts about how you could have changed or avoided the traumatic event

These feelings are a completely normal response to traumatic experiences. Trauma leaves an imprint on our lives that can profoundly affect our emotional wellbeing.

Trauma and PTSD can make you feel alone, like nobody will truly understand your experiences. But there are people in Malawi available to listen and assist. Reaching out is brave.

If you think you might need support with the symptoms of trauma & PTSD today, consider contacting a helpline in Malawi for free, confidential help.
