This event will start with an 1-hour seminar on 'Mental Health in Academia', followed by the introduction of help facilities in both DESY and Universität Hamburg.
Description 'Intro to Mental Health Literacy':
There are many misconceptions about psychiatric disease: what causes it, who is at risk, and how it manifests. Increasingly we are understanding how immense a problem this is in academia.
'Intro to Mental Health Literacy' is a 1-hour seminar and facilitated discussion which delivers the basics of mental health at a level that academics appreciate. The 1-hour seminar includes:
- Prevalence of mental health illness in general and academic populations
- An overview of signs and symptoms highlighting those seen in academic settings
- The science underlying the causes and treatments of mental illnesses, with an emphasis on depression and anxiety (most commonmental illness)
