Is family life making you unhappy, anxious or afraid? Contact a hotline in Tanzania for free, confidential support

Some families are more complicated than others. Separation, divorce, abuse, grief, financial strife and neglect are just a few of the family matters that could be causing you concern. You are never alone. If you are experiencing any of the following in your home or family life, there are 1 in Tanzania where you can get the understanding and support that you need:

• Constant bickering, arguing or shouting between family members.
• Trauma or loss of a loved one and its after effects on your family.
• Personality clashes, arguments and fights in your family.
• Problems such as consistent rivalry, mistrust or personality clashes between any of your family members.
• A family member suffering from disability, illness or mental health problems.
• Perfectionism, pressure or abuse from your parent, guardian, sibling or spouse.
• Drug, alcohol or gambling addiction and the impact this can have on your family.
• A sibling, parent or guardian who is absent physically or emotionally.

Without a warm, loving and safe home to return to at the end of the day, life can seem cold, dark and lonely. Home may not feel like home at all to you. Feeling like you need to avoid your family at all costs can be a horrible position to be in.

You may feel alone if you're experiencing family problems. You may think that nobody else has been through what you're going through and that nobody will relate. However, there are hotline volunteers and counselors in Tanzania who care about the challenges you're facing and want to help you.
