Germany: Corona crisis brings more phone calls – Bavaria

Women and men, including their employees, who have to teach their children at home in the home office, are particularly stressed. “You can’t hold out indefinitely,” said Belzner when asked by the Federal President about the situation of families. According to Steinmeier, around 7,000 people work at the 105 telephone counseling services in Germany, most of them on a voluntary basis. “We both think that’s great,” he said. There is currently no shortage of employees, said Belzner. “It has never been easier than in 2020 to fill all services or to fill them twice.” She did not give reasons for this.
