Statement for the International Nurses Day

Scoring points with the Korian Foundation: Auszeit-ICHZeit grants training points

We are extremely happy about the fact that our important and well-designed program has now become an officially certified training course. On the one hand, we hope that this will motivate carers to sign up. But more essential is that they realize the importance of stress management and that they will get some useful advice through the program that might give them a boost in their effort to cope with everyday life. Because only when caregivers are doing well, the people in need of care will also be doing well.
