    Free psychological help extended to May 15 1

    GEORGE TOWN: The free psychological first aid offered by Wawasan Open University (WOU) in partnership with the International College of Clinical Hypnotherapy Practitioners (ICCHP) Asia will now be extended until May 15 owing to the overwhelming response received.

    The aid comes in view of the mental challenges that the people, especially families, are experiencing during the movement control order (MCO), which has now entered its 52nd day.

    A total of 223 people had reached out for help in relation to the Covid- 19 pandemic from April 1 to 25.

    The programme is scheduled to continue past the anticipated relaxation of the MCO to handle post-traumatic stress from the prolonged lockdown.

    The team from ICCHP Asia assisted callers with tips and skills to better manage their challenging emotions.

    Although the free psychological service was set up mainly for the frontliners, there were many calls from the people due to various losses and the restrictions, WOU said in a statement.

    Suicidal cases were referred to the team’s on-call psychiatrists for clinical assessment, advanced help and close monitoring.

    The team helped to calm distressed callers and enabled them to better cope with the current uncertainties and make informed decisions.

    Where practical assistance was needed, they worked with the Members of Parliament in the areas concerned to provide urgent assistance, such as medical emergencies, ambulance services and food aid.

    Sixteen professionals from ICCHP Asia, including six psychiatrists, are offering support over the telephone.

    All conversations are private and confidential.

    Students who are doing complete online learning remotely from their homes or elsewhere are also encouraged to call in if they are feeling stressed during the MCO period.

    Feel free to call ICCHP Asia from 9am to 9pm daily from now until May 15 as per below, or email icchpcovid19@gmail.com to arrange a convenient time to chat: 0124447032 / 0169271240/ 0124856404 (9am-12pm);

    0123021262 / 0124080675/ 0123741558 (12pm-3pm);

    0174777746 / 0124736830 / 0164979876 (3pm-6pm);

    New GDO country profiles available

    Countries across the six WHO regions are participating in the Global Dementia Observatory (GDO), a data and knowledge exchange platform. The GDO provides easy access to country-level key dementia data and functions as the monitoring mechanism of the Global dementia action plan on the public health response to dementia 2017-2025.

    GDO country profiles offer a baseline summary of countries’ progress on dementia actions outlined in the global dementia action plan. They provide an easy read snapshot of the more comprehensive data submitted by Member States across three key domains related to dementia: policies, service delivery, and information and research. GDO country profiles can be used to inform policy, service planning and health and social care systems decisions for dementia. Additional country profiles will be added as data becomes available.

  • Selling with Confidence: How to Keep Revenue and Prices Up

    Selling with confidence gives sales professionals the skills and support they need to resist growing pressure to discount prices. Such confidence is more critical than ever because the pressure to discount comes from two sources. First?no surprise?it comes from customers. In today?s world, when demand is slowing and globalization introduces low-cost competitors, existing and new customers are more insistent than ever that sales people discount and then discount some more. The battle to maintain profits by resisting discounting pressures from customers is tough enough without more pressure coming from yet a second source: the sales person?s sales managers and corporate executives.

  • Choosing the Right Email Service Provider

    Just as email marketing can be complex, so is choosing a top tier ESP (Email Service Provider). Comparing ESPs to each other isn?t always an apples-to-apples comparison. They each have their specific areas of strengths and weaknesses. For example, some ESPs excel at integration with web analytics or CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems, some are very strong in deliverability, and others have a more intuitive interface. The differences don?t just stop there: The same piece of content sent to the same list on different ESPs will give you different delivery results.

    This white paper will help you narrow down the services that are most important to you and what to look for when selecting an ESP. It also includes an ESP Scoring Sheet!

  • Advertising in a Down Economy

    According to Myers Publishing, advertising revenues from almost all sectors will see spending declines from 2008. Recessions can either be viewed as a dark time for advertisers, or the perfect time to balance out your marketing mix with a focus on performance driven results. Companies that plan to keep their advertising budget during this stagnant time will see results if they do the research and find a media mix that works harder for them.

  • Personas Positioning and the Message Box

    When lead generation programs fail, they do so mainly because the messages communicated are irrelevant or ill-timed for the target audience. Our target customers are bombarded with thousands of messages every day. Unfortunately, we (as a society) have become so used to information overload it?s become the white noise of the marketplace. As a result, the knee-jerk reaction from companies is the ?ready, fire? execution of promotional offers. It?s easy for marketers to fall into the trap of believing that volume replaces…
