Chat offer for the conversations that are often missing
Tomorrow is "Blue Monday" - the saddest day of the year. That's when the phones at the Caritas chat network start ringing off the hook again.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen 2024 was the busiest year since the project was launched: 2413 callers (17% more than in the previous year) dialed the number for the chat network and 14,171 calls were made (+22%). "Callers can share their worries and fears and feel connected to someone. A simple phone call often helps enormously," says Caritas Director Klaus Schwertner.
The principle is simple: people who have no one to talk to call 05/1776-100 to talk to volunteers who are happy to listen. Calls are accepted every day between 10 am and 10 pm. Around 4100 chat partners volunteer for the chat network. They deserve the Wiener of the Week award for their commitment!
