Our mental health is just as important as our physical health. It influences our quality of life, our Wellbeing and our performance. Those who are mentally balanced are better able to deal with stress, resolve conflicts and organize their everyday lives more consciously. Mental health also has a direct impact on physical health - prolonged stress or mental strain can promote high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease, for example. It is therefore particularly important to take good care of yourself.
With Mental Health Awareness Week, CampusPlus aims to draw attention to the importance of mental health every year in November and encourage people to pay more attention to their own Wellbeing.
This year, Mental Health Awareness Week will take place on campus in Kaiserslautern and Landaufrom November 24 to 28, 2025. From Tuesday to Thursday in Foyer 42 in Kaiserslautern and in the Atrium in Landau, you can expect a wide range of offers, activities and workshops on our three main topics this year:
- Nutrition and mental health
- Exercise and mental health
- Relaxation and mindfulness
Each day is dedicated to one of these topics and offers exciting opportunities to learn new things, try out new things and take away small impulses for more mental balance.
Join in, discover new ways to improve your Wellbeing and set an example for mental health!

How high is your stress level? This is measured during relaxation coaching by recording your heart rate variability. An increased stress level has a particular effect on heart activity and can make you ill in the long term. The level of stress can be reliably measured using heart rate variability. You can directly observe the effects on your stress level through a targeted relaxation exercise.
To do this, you wear a sensor during the measurement, which records the heart rate variability and enables the stress index to be calculated. The heart rate is visualized and continuously displayed on the monitor. In this way, you can experience how deepened breathing can be used directly to regulate stress and how you can easily integrate this exercise into your everyday life.
Book your 15-minute measurement and consultation appointment now.
