The University of Helsinki is supporting its staff in coping with the current process of change by organising support sessions in Finnish on all campuses, as well as one session in English on the Kumpula Campus.

Finnish-language sessions
City Centre, Mon 8 February, 14.00–16.00, Unioninkatu 40, room 1
Viikki, Thu 11 February, 14.00–16.00, Biocentre 2, Viikinkaari 5, auditorium 1041

Kumpula, Thu 18 February, 9.00–11.00, Physicum, Gustaf Hällströmin katu 2 A, auditorium D101

The support sessions are aimed at staff who wish to learn about typical psychological responses to changes and to discuss their thoughts, emotions and responses regarding the current situation together with their colleagues and an occupational psychologist. Other topics to be addressed include coping methods that have proven effective. Open discussion can help the participants gain more understanding about the difficult change process.

Miia Rautiainen or Elina Laitilainen, occupational psychologists, will lead the sessions.
