Mental Health Awareness Week


Our mental health is just as important as our physical health. It contributes to our quality of life and our general well-being. It is important for leading a fulfilling life and realizing our full potential. It also has an impact on our social environment. The better our mental health, the better we can maintain harmonious relationships and resolve conflicts. We are also able to perform better at work, are more resistant to stress and are better able to deal with challenges. Because our mental health can have a direct impact on our physical health, for example in the form of high blood pressure or heart disease, it is particularly important to pay attention to it.

For this reason, we are organizing a "Mental Health Awareness Week" this year from 20.11.-26.11.2023. The aim is to strengthen your mental health and raise awareness about it. Below you will find our program for this year. Feel free to drop by, we look forward to seeing you :)

Can I help you? Preventing suicide by speaking up

Tina In-Albon, Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy of Childhood and Adolescence

Suicidal tendencies are a serious issue among students, partly because they often do not seek professional help. One preventive approach is gatekeeper programs that train students to approach students. This is where the online program "Talk-to-Me" comes in. The program will be presented in the lecture. 

When? 21.11.23 from 12:00-14:00

Where? Building C1, conference room
