Upon arrival, I felt from the beginning the necessity to talk with my family, to tell them that I had arrived safely and sound, and tell them about my new situation in order to get their advice and also some indications. I therefore asked the social workers from the residential facility where I was hosted if I could get in contact with my parents through phone or Skype. Talking with them reassured me a lot and represented also a very important step for being able to begin a new phase of my adventure. From then on, I often speak with my family and sometimes even my favourite social worker joints the call and talks to my parents.

 

Ask the persons of reference if they can help you to contact and communicate with your family or your loved ones in your country.
