COUNSELING SUPPORT SESSIONS in a time of crisis “Contact ...at a distance"

Corona Virus Pandemic! A climate of disorder, fear, panic, entrapment and isolation!

Such rapid, unexpected and forced changes in our lifestyle often present significant "difficulties" and "restrictions" in our daily lives, but at the same time, these same difficult situations can offer a number of interesting "possibilities" so that the crisis can become an opportunity to coexist in new ways, caring for each other. However, there are situations that make it difficult for some people to adapt to the rhythms imposed by the new temporary status quo, and they need support in order to cope with these sudden limitations!

In the context of this "pandemic crisis", the Gestalt Foundation and its trainees felt that this was the time to offer their help to fellow human beings who really need support.

So through the link https://www.facebook.com/group.process.team  a new telephone and online practice was established, offering voluntary Gestalt counseling and psychological support sessions, via Skype, Messenger, Viber, WhatsApp and/or by phone to anyone who truly needs it!

The sessions had and continue to have a specific duration, in line with  the principles and code of ethics of Gestalt psychotherapists and mental health counselors.

In this specific ongoing initiative, 150 people have responded to 30 trained Gestalt therapists who, in turn, are supported by four supervisory teams!
