Mental health in times of change

The world is rapidly changing. Work places are becoming digitalized and the population is growing older. Climate change and migration are in the news on a daily basis. All these issues have impacts on our mental health.

In this changing world, we cannot only rely anymore on specialized clinical treatments provided by psychologists and psychiatrists. Instead, we need to take mental health into our own hands, and address the root causes of mental health concerns at the same time. We need to invest in simple solutions that strengthen mental health in the midst of our daily lives.

This presentation will present new developments in the field of mental health prevention, with a key focus on vulnerable populations. It will discuss current innovations in digital mental health and stress management in the community and workplace.
