Falklands Supporting Community’s Emotional Wellbeing after Argos Georgia Tragedy
EWS reassures anyone who is feeling deeply distressed with the Argos Georgia tragedy, that this is a very natural reaction to such a disaster, especially in such a small, close-knit community.
Following the tragic incident involving the Argos Georgia, the Emotional Wellbeing Service (EWS) in the Falkland Islands is reaching out to the community members who may be experiencing distress. The EWS acknowledges the natural reactions to such a disaster, especially in a tight-knit community.
Whether directly or indirectly affected, individuals may experience various emotions and behaviors. It is essential to give yourself time, talk about your feelings, stick to routines, and seek support if needed. Remember, feeling distressed is normal and seeking help is not a sign of weakness.
The EWS offers confidential support during office hours and the Samaritans provide a ‘listening ear’ service 24/7. Reach out for help if you or someone you know requires additional support.
