As Counseling Corner aims to improve mental health in Myanmar, we would like to publish this regular newsletter to inform you about how to look after the well-being of people in your organization.
As in the rest of the world, it is important to separate people physically and mentally in your workplace. An “Employer Assistance Program” (EAP) ensures that employees have someone to talk to confidentially about problems that may arise in personal or work-related situations. Mental illness is important to everyone; It is important not only for the people who are able to function strangely in this society. Especially in situations where people work from home, it is important for a company to give employees personal attention and make sure they are comfortable.
In this month’s newsletter, we discuss a variety of topics that will benefit not only your employees, but the organization as well.
Live Streaming on Social Media – Motivation
Every Tuesday at 7pm we host a Facebook Live webinar on cyberbullying, How to stay healthy during Covid-19 There were weekly events on topics ranging from quarantine centers to domestic violence and suicide. Recently, our psychotherapist Aung Min Thein spoke candidly with the counselors from the consultation. Don’t win Dr. Sai Neng Kyaw Kyaw and Ma Cherry Poi talked with U Aung Min Thein about “Motivation”. Especially in this Covid period (whether working from home or in the office), we see that employees in organizations need more support and motivation. During the discussion, the group discussed the importance of motivation at work; He explained how to create a healthy environment and what to do as an employee.

Therefore, we hope that you will bear with our difficulties.
Group Emotional Well-being Workshop
The number of people is limited, so you can register now.
Counseling Corner developed a 2-hour workshop that focused on giving 20 people the opportunity to talk in groups and express their feelings.
This workshop lasts about two (2) hours and the therapy is not about telling or advising them what they should do or what they should do with their life. By listening to them and making them think again, to understand their problems and find a suitable solution. The feedback we received was very interesting and the attendees really enjoyed the discussions. “I realized I’m not the only one” and so on. “People are very receptive and find a 2-hour workshop extraordinary. The next workshop is on Friday 13 February 2021 and is open to everyone. The cost per person is 15,000 kyats. For more information, please call 09-664017251.
