Reasons to Choose This Program

Students collaborating on project seated on floor

The seminar is for anyone who is interested in mental health and wants to have a long-term and sustainable impact on their everyday working life. It is about mental stress and how it can be overcome and how existing resources can be strengthened.

 

The focus of this workshop is on the prevention of mental stress and illness, and scientifically based findings on “healthy self-management” are also conveyed. What is stress and how can it be dealt with preventively? What are mental illnesses anyway, how common are they in the company and what signs can I recognize? Become your personal first aider for mental stress in the workplace. For you and your colleagues.

 

This compact course has been designed on the basis of best practices from companies, science and the day-to-day work of a head physician at a psychiatric clinic and is enriched with exercises and “first aid tools” on what is best to do in everyday life and in acute cases. In addition, what has been learned and practiced will be discussed at a virtual reflection meeting approx. 6 weeks later.

What Others Say

  • Leadership is one of the most important resources to promote employees' health.

    „Many leaders are still insecure how to deal with employees who are mentally urdened or ill. Healthy leadership is increasingly becoming a key qualification. Providing "the right" support for employees with depression, for example, is a major challenge for many leaders. How do I address such a topic? How can I provide Support? And what can I do preventively?“

    Dr. med. Simon Senner

    Chief Physician at the Center for Psychiatry Reichenau/Konstanz and founder of brains-work.com

  • Invest in the mental health of your team!

    “I hope that awareness of mental health will really spread. The seminar has given me additional tools and taught me new skills on how to deal with mental health in the workplace and I hope that I can pass on as many of these skills as possible. It's important to take care of it and anchor the topic in the corporate culture, as you not only get something back in the company in interpersonal terms, but also economically. I will now go back to my company and provide impetus on how to cushion the blow, especially preventively.“

  • Mental health in the workplace is crucial for a positive and productive working environment.

    „In many companies, mental health is still a taboo subject. After attending the seminar, I am well prepared for situations in which I am confronted with the topic and feel more confident in approaching affected employees. For me, the seminar was very entertaining and interesting! I took away a lot of new information, also for application in my company. The presentation is very captivating, you enjoy listening attentively!“

  • Mental health in the workplace

    „The overall impression is very good. I think Simon Senner, the lecturer, does a very good job. Of course, he has the relevant specialist background, but he also conveys the importance of the topic very impressively. The exchange with the other participants is very valuable and the group dynamics are also great. The seminar gives you the right tools to use preventively in your company and to raise the importance of the topic.“
