Psychological help for individuals and counseling for SMEs
Many people are unsettled because of the corona crisis, and companies are facing major challenges. To defuse the situation, the ZHAW offers low-threshold psychological support and uncomplicated help for companies.
The corona crisis is causing great uncertainty among private individuals and companies alike. For this reason, the ZHAW has decided to make its know-how available to the public. On the one hand, the School of Management and Law advises SMEs that need to take communication measures quickly in order to survive, but cannot afford large agencies. The advice is free of charge and is also available to (nonprofit) organizations with smaller budgets. Secondly, the IAP Institute for Applied Psychology offers consultations by phone or video with a Care Team. This offer is also free of charge and is open to all people who are exposed to personal and family tensions due to the current situation. This counseling service is also intended to fill a gap that has arisen because many psychotherapeutic services are currently only available to a limited extent.
Fast communicative help for companies
The corona crisis is hitting the Swiss economy hard. Many small and medium-sized companies have been forced either to discontinue their services altogether or to switch to short-time working or reduce their workforce due to the changed order situation. The long-term consequences for the economy, but also for the companies, are currently difficult to assess. Many SMEs are confronted with previously unknown communication and marketing challenges. The Institute of Marketing Management at the ZHAW School of Management and Law offers concrete support with the "Marketing Communication Clinic". The support is aimed at companies that cannot afford an agency or consultancy and are dependent on an independent expert opinion. Consultation through the Marketing Communication Clinic takes place online and is free of charge.
Psychological help and counseling in the time of crisis
The situation surrounding the coronavirus and the measures ordered by the federal government lead to a changed daily structure for children, young people and adults. Not only are social contacts restricted, but insecurities and fears increase, worries about the job and loss of income increase. All this can lead to personal and family tensions. To make matters worse, the availability of many psychotherapeutic services is limited. For this reason, psychologists at the IAP Institute for Applied Psychology offer free consultations by phone or video. In addition, the IAP has produced an information sheet to help people in the current tense situation to help themselves.
New offerings from the ZHAW such as Advice from health professionals from the Department of Health. are displayed on the Website continuously supplemented.
