COME MEET ALMA

Do you still have questions or doubts?

Non sei solo: lo Sportello di Ascolto

Sappiamo che cambiare città e affrontare un corso intensivo può essere sfidante. Per questo ALMA ti mette a disposizione uno Ristoramentis, lo Sportello di ascolto psicologico pensato su misura per i nostri allievi.

Cos'è: Uno spazio riservato dove parlare con un professionista se ti senti sotto pressione o se hai bisogno di un consiglio per gestire meglio il distacco da casa o lo studio.

Perché: La tua serenità è importante quanto la tua capacità di cucinare.
Guidato dalla Dott.ssa Angelica Ferri, Psicologa e Diplomata ALMA, Ristoramentis unisce competenze professionali in ambito psicologico con una conoscenza profonda e autentica del mondo della cucina e dell’ospitalità per:

• Fermarti e riorientarti
• Gestire lo stress e la pressione
• Ritrovare motivazione e focus
• Esprimere ciò che senti e trovare nuove risorse
• Scoprire e valorizzare i tuoi talenti e le tue potenzialità
• Ri-scoprire il tuo rapporto con il cibo e imparare ad utilizzarlo in modo positivo e stimolante nella tua professione
