Who we are?

Founded in 2020 by a group of volunteer Psychiatrists, Psychologists and Psychological Counselors; It is a platform that aims to provide free counseling and share information over the internet to people who have any type of psychological problem, but not limited to, problems related to traumas such as migration, torture and war. Scientific, ethical values, being unbiased, and confidentiality are among our important values.

On the other hand, the site is open to the contributions and participation of all health professionals who want to contribute voluntarily. We would like to point out that even answering a question of a person once a month will be a valuable contribution. The necessary information for those who want to participate is available on the link on the home page.

This and many other factors have resulted in the fact that the internet, which has become the basic source of information for people, has become an important area for health services, and this requirement has become more evident with the pandemic process. In this context, many basic problems arise. People who are unable to access health services try to investigate their problems on the internet, reaching out to many wrong information. General suggestions and methods can be beneficial for everyone if used properly, but each individual’s problem is unique and needs to be evaluated individually. On the Internet, people are exposed to many unscientific suggestions. Third, one may have the illusion that he/she can handle all of his problems on his own, fear that he is experiencing a much more serious problem than he has, or on the contrary, an important problem. Many problems that remain unsolved and cannot be intervened in time may lead to other problems in the future.

We welcome all your comments, feedbacks and new ideas. We wish everyone health, well-being, and happiness all the time.
