Four exemplary cases
Support in a wide range of life situations
-
Returning to work after pregnancy/parental leave
Eloise is about to give birth and is already looking forward to life as a mother. Nevertheless, she is worried about all the uncertainties that lie ahead. That is why she has used the services of WPO a few months before her due date.
The counselor has helped identify areas of potential change and ways to prepare for these changes in advance. She also discussed a transition strategy for the leave of absence. Follow-up discussions included the importance of a support system, work-life balance and coping mechanisms regarding Eloise's feelings about to returning to work.

Care for older people
At the age of 60, Ralf had an accident that resulted in a speech impediment. This has had a very negative impact on his confidence – at work and when it comes to interacting with others.
So, Ralf contacted the elderly care service to help him address his problems. They looked for a speech pathologist to help him work on his speech and language skills. Together they also looked for support groups that could help him overcome his fear of speaking.
Finally, after his telephone contact with WPO, Ralf received extensive teaching material to help him on this path.

Life counselling
Sarah contacted WPO and asked for help with time management. She reported that she had constantly felt as if she had to catch up on things. Her goal was to become more proactive, and approach work with clearer thinking.
Working with a life coach, Sarah tried out the method of attending a daily programme. She found that working to an evening schedule enabled her to restructure her day and organize her priorities. After this support programme, she reported that she would now wake up feeling much better prepared, and feel more confident overall.
