Mental Health Day: Join our expert lectures on October 10th

October 10th, 2022 is World Mental Health Day. On this day, we as the TUM Institute for LifeLong Learning offer a variety of virtual impulses on the topic of Mental Health.

The topic of Mental Health is becoming increasingly important in the modern working world. The reasons for this are manifold: be it increasing stress factors at the workplace or current crises such as the Ukraine war or the Corona pandemic.

Through our expert lectures, we would like to create greater awareness of the importance of mental health on the one hand. On the other hand, we would like to provide all interested parties with valuable impulses within the framework of various online short lectures and workshops, with the aim of strengthening one’s own resources and developing beneficial strategies.

The following courses will take place on October 10:
