Helplines in Uruguay.

Have symptoms of trauma and PTSD? Contacting a hotline in Uruguay can help

Traumatic experiences happen more often than you might think. Because they are so common and frequently highly distressing, Uruguay has 2 helplines to help people dealing with trauma and PTSD. Symptoms might involve:

• Experiencing 'hypervigilance' or extreme alertness
• Being unable to remember details of the traumatic event
• A sensation of emotional numbness
• Being jumpy or easily startled
• Overwhelming negative emotions such as guilt, shame, sadness and anxiety
• Having uncontrollable angry outbursts that might not make sense to you
• Physical sensations such as pain, trembling, sweating or nausea
• Flashbacks of a traumatic event

These symptoms are very typical for people who are suffering from trauma-related issues. The pain felt from traumatic events is very real, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed.

The symptoms of trauma and PTSD can become overwhelming. Assistance is available in Uruguay to help you unpack your experiences and begin making sense of them. You can feel seen, heard and understood through compassionate listening and support.
