The USZ Corona Solidarity Fund is able to fund another project at University Hospital Zurich (USZ): In recent years the Department of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry and Psychosomatic Medicine at USZ has co-developed a method it calls Problem Management Plus, where specialists offer those seeking help individual counseling on strategies for managing problems and stress. The department has adapted the method to the needs of healthcare professionals during the coronavirus crisis.
It now wants to evaluate the modified method in a study. If it proves its worth, it can be made available throughout Switzerland as well as worldwide via the WHO. With minor adaptations, the tool will also be useful for the general public. That way the project can help prevent mental illness. Many thanks to our donors who are contributing to the USZ Corona Solidarity Fund!
