Christmas: This is how you avoid conflicts and stress in the festival hustle and bustle!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - Christmas, which is considered a contemplative festival, has a different reality for many. Instead of joy, many people feel stress and conflicts that generate additional pressure in the darkness of winter. Christian Hajek, Chairman of the Association for Psychotherapy, emphasizes the importance of early discussions about potential conflicts in order to increase the chances of a peaceful Christmas. In this context, the psychotherapeutic on -call duty (PTBD) offers support that has been committed to access to psychotherapeutic help in Austria for over 15 years. With over 1,000 therapists in cities such as Vienna, Graz and Innsbruck, quick support is guaranteed at difficult moments. In 2024, the number of clients supervised will probably reach 5,000.

commitment to the homeless

Christmas time not only brings family challenges, but also the need to become active in the community. Especially in the colder winter months, volunteers are committed to homeless people. In many cities, thermal buses are available to supply the needy on the street with hot soup, tea or coffee. These missions are particularly common in the evening when the temperatures fall strongly. The volunteers, often supplemented by rescue helpers, also distribute warm sleeping bags, hats and hygiene articles in order not only to give people physical warmth but also human care. These actions for which donations are necessary are important help for the weakest in society. If you want to get involved here, you can be trained beforehand, as Malteser shows.
