Team Zurich, IC Charity Days 2019
A key part of our IC Mission is "we act as teams". With the aim of fostering team spirit and doing good, we invite you to "team up for others" across departments and locations. It will be a fantastic opportunity to get to know your colleagues from different departments and increase our cooperation between teams!

Program: Counselling + Help 147: Help for children and young people in need
The emergency number 147 from Pro Juventute helps children and young people with questions, problems and emergency situations like depression, family matters, violence, addiction, school, job, love, friendship and sexuality.
This counselling is available via telephone, SMS, chat, e-mail and web service (147.ch). On the Internet platform, children and youths can find further answers to their questions as well as numerous links and addresses of specialist agencies.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among children and adolescents in Switzerland. Every day, at least two children or adolescents with suicidal thoughts call the free emergency number for advice + assistance 147. Pro Juventute's specialist advisers help them 365 days a year, around the clock. Neutral, discreet and 100% confidential. The Child Helpline 147 service prevents youth suicide and helps youths in crisis situations and ensures police or ambulance intervention if needed.
To fundraise for this great initiative at the "IC Charity Days" which will take September 19th in Zürich .
