Struggling to balance the demands of research with your well-being? Many early career researchers find it challenging to prioritize mental health in high-stress environments. And traditional coping strategies may not address the unique pressures of academia, leaving researchers feeling isolated or burned out.
In this hands-on workshop, which combines lessons with individual assessments and group discussions, you’ll learn and practice skills such as:
• Pursuing meaningful goals aligned with your aspirations,
• Building strong relationships inside and outside academia,
• Managing stress and maintaining a positive attitude,
• Recognizing when, how and from whom to seek help,
• Boosting your well-being and mental health through proven strategies,
• Promoting a culture of kindness and compassion in your research community.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll be equipped with practical tactics to enhance your well-being and create a positive academic environment. Imagine a future where you and your colleagues flourish—feeling grounded, valued, and connected. Join us to make academia a kinder, more fulfilling place for everyone.
