Para 1.20 | 4Cs was required to temporarily close down its face to face working in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic. Our response was to set up the facility for online counselling using zoom as a platform. Our counsellors underwent additional training for working online and we were able to pick up and maintain our client work successfully, with those clients for whom zoom was appropriate and possible. We maintained telephone support for those who could not access zoom technology. Such support during the lockdown periods was vital for the mental health of our clients. We also began working with new clients on zoom, providing support for many front line workers and those struggling with the effects of the pandemic such as bereavement, trauma, isolation, increased stress and relationship difficulties. |
