Apart from Arabic and English the service is also available in Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Urdu and Tagalog languages.
The Mental Health Friends Association (Weyak) is a free tele-counseling service that provides psychological guidance to community members on various psychological, behavioral, family or educational issues.
The service is also meant for those who are feeling distressed, stressed or mentally low.
It is a safe space where adults who are feeling mentally disturbed can speak to expert mental health counselors who can provide psycho-social and education support, along with possible other related additional resources in Qatar.
The free tele-counselling service is available for all Qatari citizens and residents alike in seven different languages - English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Tamil, Malayalam and Tagalog.
The service is especially meant for those who go through stress, depression or anxiety. Some of those suffering mental depression do not have their families here in Qatar and those who tend to turn to family and friends often realize that these loved ones are not trained in providing expert advice and support.
The sad alternative then is for these unfortunate people to generally retreat and suffer in silence. The free Weyak tele-counselling service is there for these people who feel lost and alone.
For those feeling hesitant, embarrassed and/or unmotivated the good news is that the Weyak tele-counselling service is fully confidential, and one has to just call the support line # 44878722/ 8009395
