Mental chat and sparri service to help you unburden your mind
Mental wellbeing digital service package Mental chat and sparri is a low-threshold, preventive service to strengthen mental health for Terveystalo's occupational health clients. The service aims to provide a channel for employees to unburden their minds as easily as possible, even from the comfort of their own home.
Things happen in the world that are out of our control, but we don't have to be alone with our worries. Fortunately, more and more people are seeking support for themselves.
– The changing world and the juggling act of working remotely and locally takes a toll on all of our mental strengths and demands flexibility and adaptability from the mind. Everyday worries can take even more of a toll now that the exceptional situation is still ongoing. Fortunately, the mind's capacity for flexibility and resilience can always be strengthened. Clearing the mind frees up energy for other things," says psychologist Tuija Turunen.
