Mental Health in Focus: From Awareness to Action

Description:

Next Tuesday, April 8th, 12:30, in another Brainstorming session, our colleague Susana Rodrigues from CBER (and much more), is going to talk to us about various aspects of our/yours mental health!

At the end all those present can sign the attendance sheet and receive a training certificate!
 

Summary: Mental health is a fundamental pillar of well-being, shaping how we think, feel, and deal with daily challenges. In an increasingly demanding world, recognizing warning signs, managing emotions, and adopting healthy habits are essential to maintaining psychological balance and overall quality of life. This workshop offers a practical, evidence-based approach to understanding mental health, debunking myths, identifying risk factors, and developing effective strategies to promote well-being. Additionally, we will explore the impact of mental health in professional life and how to create environments that foster emotional balance, adaptability to daily demands, and a consequent increase in productivity.
