United Counseling Center founder Alan Chou relates that since the global financial storm touched off by the collapse of Lehman Brothers in the US in the fall of 2008, many financial and high-tech firms have come to them to ask for classes in stress relief and mood control for employees. Business was up nearly 30 % over the same period in 2007.
聯合心理諮商所所長邱永林就指出，自從 2008 年秋天，美國雷曼兄弟控股公司垮台而引發了一連串全球性金融風暴後，就有許多金融業及科技業公司，主動上門要求為員工加開壓力及情緒管理的諮商課程，業績較 2007 年同期大幅成長近 3 成。
