On the central corner of Mitre street and the pedestrian walkway, a promotion and awareness day for the 102 Childhood and Adolescence Helpline was held this Wednesday morning.
In this regard, the coordinator of said helpline, Marianela Cardozo, commented that the action is part of Children's Month, "which is why we are going to be giving a gift to the children walking along the pedestrian walkway," noting that the idea is to be able to "continue with the dissemination of the helpline because we believe it is an important tool."
Cardozo recalled that "the 102 has been operating for 24 years in Concordia, it is a national helpline that belongs to the municipality and the mayor Francisco Azcué supports us a lot in everything that has to do with this type of discussion and promotion proposals to be able to support children and adolescents."
ACCOMPANY AND PREVENT
It is worth noting that the 102 Helpline is what was formerly known as the Children's Telephone. In recent years, "we sought to cover a little more because adolescents did not want to call and currently they have started to communicate a little more," said Cardozo.
Finally, Cardozo pointed out that "two years ago a WhatsApp line was incorporated, in accordance with new technologies, and the truth is that it works very well, 24 hours a day, with an on-call service."
The idea is that children and young people, the official added, "know that it is a helpline for them, that they can communicate with us and on the other side they will have an answer, support or advice." And she stressed that "if we see that the situation is complex, it is referred to the corresponding professionals and we work in a coordinated manner with the Mental Health area."
