In the midst of all the things people keep to themselves, the Ministry of Social Development (MIDES) decided to launch a direct, no-nonsense tool. Since the line was relaunched in September 2024, there have been over 18,000 calls. Minister Beatriz Carles stated that 'Há-bla-lo' captures what is heard daily on the other end of the phone. Simple, everyday phrases that one understands without having to think too much. The book is born from the daily work of the 147 Line, where psychologists and social workers listen, guide, and accompany people who call seeking relief or help. No complicated words or technical speeches. It's called 'Há-bla-lo', a simple, visual book that can be opened at any moment, designed to help people talk about what weighs on them and what hurts. The presentation was held on January 16, and the idea is clear: to make mental health feel less complicated or distant. It also includes simple breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, emotional management, and small guides to clear your head when everything feels chaotic. MIDES explains that the book is not here to replace the 147 Line, but to reinforce it. Because speaking up, even if it's hard, remains the first step. Short messages like 'you're doing well', 'let yourself be loved', or 'we all make mistakes'. Another tool for those who don't always dare to call but are willing to read, underline, or save a phrase. Carles thanked the creative team Otra Vez Sin Brief, the Fundación Más Móvil, and everyone who joined the project, highlighting that when work is done collectively, the impact goes further. The invitation is clear: read it, share it, and pass it on. For people with anxiety, sadness, family problems.
