Tomorrow we will launch a psychological support line for parents of teenagers. Write to us if you are worried about your child

Since the start of the war, the number of persecutions targeting teenagers has been growing. They are pressured at school, provoked online, detained for taking part in protests, and some face the risk of conscription. All of this inevitably causes anxiety and confusion for parents.

If you are worried that your child may face pressure from the state, or is already facing it, we want to support you.

🧡 On April 29, together with the First Line project, we will open a psychological support line for one day. Come ask a psychologist your questions so you do not have to be left alone with your anxiety.

▶️ Who this line is for

For parents of teenagers who are worried about state pressure on their children or are afraid that this may happen.

▶️ How it works

On April 29 from 10:00 to 18:00 (Moscow time), you can write to the First Line psychological support bot on Telegram.

A psychologist will reply to you, and you will arrange a consultation.

The consultation takes place in text format and lasts about an hour.

It is anonymous and free.

▶️ What questions you can reach out with

Write to our line with a psychologist if:

🟠 it seems to you that your child is being pressured because of their views, words, or actions;

🟠 you are afraid that they may have problems because of posts, comments, or their activity;

🟠 your child is facing bullying, pressure, or isolation;

🟠 you or your child are being summoned for talks at school, the police, or other authorities;

🟠 you fear that your child may be drawn into dangerous actions through the internet (for example, for money or “on assignment”);

🟠 an administrative or criminal case has been opened against your child for political reasons;

🟠 one of the parents is in prison in a political case and the child is having a hard time coping with it;

🟠 you are generally anxious about your child, their future, or you feel that things are difficult for you right now as a parent.

If you are unsure whether your situation fits, write to us, and we will try to help.

Our line is a space of support for you. We will help you understand the situation and cope with your worries.

We are waiting for you tomorrow, April 29, at this link.
