Please read more on our How does Auntie work page, but in short, when an organisation has signed a contract with Auntie, Auntie organises an info session for the personnel and people can register to the service online, according to the organisation’s pre-defined practises. When a person has registered, they will receive an email invitation to a preliminary survey. On the basis of the survey responses, a suitable professional is selected for them. The professional will contact the person within three working days and they agree on the video session schedule. As a rule, 45-minute video sessions take place once a week for five weeks.
All Auntie Professionals are trained mental well-being professionals: psychologists, brief therapists and solution-focused therapists.
Best practises have been frequent communication to the employees and that the team leaders and HR people have taken Auntie themselves and can tell about it to the employees. Keeping the entry to the service as accessible as possible – i.e. Auntie can be used without the specific permission from the manager or HR – lowers the threshold significantly.
Auntie is a well-being service. It is intended for preventing challenges in coping and mental well-being, i.e. preventing everyday challenges from escalating into crises. Auntie has a coaching and solution-oriented approach. Using Auntie services will not be entered into any national health registry.
A moderate amount. At first, HR and communications personnel are needed to spread the Auntie message among managers and employees. We warmly recommend that HR personnel themselves take Auntie sessions so that they are able to speak about them with those who would benefit most from Auntie.
All discussions that take place during the meetings are strictly confidential, no information about their contents is ever revealed to the employer. In some organizations, where the threshold is kept as low as possible, allowing the employer to know regularly the number of users as well as the issues presented in the summary reports, such as possible anonymous feedback to the employer. In some organizations, the employee’s unit becomes known to the employer, in others also the name. The latter has been found to raise the threshold clearly, so Auntie urges it to be avoided where possible. Before registering, a person is always told what policy their employer has.
