Staff Week 2024 - Wellbeing of students and staff

Following great success and benefit of the last year´s International Staff Week on the topic of mental health and wellbeing of students and staff with positive feedback from the participants, the Faculty of Social Sciences continues to pursue this agenda and will be happy to share experience with our partners and mutually enrich the institutional approach to the topic.

Mental health and wellbeing issues on university campuses have been on the rise. There is a strong and expanding evidence base indicating that university students are a ‘very high risk population’ for psychological distress and mental disorders. Given that a substantial proportion of students will experience mental health difficulties during their time at university, how can universities ensure they provide supportive and ‘health-promoting’ environments? And how can universities provide a supportive services for its academic and administrative staff? Join our staff week and share your experience and practice from your university.
