In this Vision Talk, we show that 
mental health is much more than just the absence 
of mental illness. We clarify why the topic is exciting and important for all of us, we show why it is essential and fun to stand up for it collectively – and why it is worthwhile for both people and organizations. With a mixture of profound knowledge, personal anecdotes and inspiring facts, we create enthusiasm for a shared view of mental health and talk with lightness about a largely still stigmatized topic. The vision talk is available in German and English.

Loneliness is an unpopular yet very common feeling: people of all ages face it – increasingly the younger generations as well. If loneliness becomes chronic, it can negatively affect our mental and physical health. In this talk, we explain what loneliness actually is and deconstruct myths that contribute to the taboo nature of this phenomenon. We invite the audience to reflect on themselves and present strategies to increase connectedness with ourselves and others. Small interactions loosen up the talk and involve the audience.

When it comes to mental health in the work context, there is no getting around burnout. What exactly describes the syndrome and how can it be prevented? In this lightening talk we take the participants to the core of the ‘symptom of our time’ and empower them with fresh ideas to counteract it. In doing so, we promote an understanding of the symptoms and foster sensitivity towards the culture within teams and company wide. Because preventing burnout is not solely an individual task but also a ‘team sport’ and the goal of sustainable organizations.

Having a thick skin and being able to thrive in adverse conditions? The definitions of resilience are varied – and often very abbreviated and of little help for individuals. In this talk, we unveil the term resilience and show ways how the concept can be applied to enhance healthy working environments. We explore the importance of personal values and reveal how resilience can unfold on a team level. Our view and approach includes not only individual competencies, but also encompasses social and structural resources in the workplace.

Psychological stress and illness do not only affect the daily work of affected persons themselves – they also have an impact on teamwork and cooperation. In many cases, there is a willingness within the team to provide support for affected colleagues – but there is a lack of knowledge about the ‘how’. In this talk, we provide basic knowledge about mental stress and illness in the work context and point out how the social work environment – colleagues, HR representatives and managers – can actively support risk and protective factors for mental health. We also highlight do’s and don’ts in dealing with colleagues who are suffering from mental stress.

How do I recognize depression? What is an anxiety disorder? What’s it like to feel burned out? In this workshop, we convey knowledge about the most common types of mental stress and illness in the work context and how to identify them – using MOODSUITS®. MOODSUITS® are design objects which are based on the principle of embodiment. They provide a simple and low-threshold introduction to the topic and can be playfully tried out on-site. The workshop structure is rich in variety: Knowledge units alternate with interactive parts where self reflection is fostered.

During work, we are confronted with various challenges that also influence our mental well-being: We have to establish healthy routines, master communication via digital tools and negotiate boundaries. In this online training, we impart knowledge and techniques for daily mental hygiene on the job. In addition to knowledge about one’s personal basic needs, we strengthen awareness of individual stressors and teach strategies for strengthening instrumental, mental and regenerative stress competence. Interactive teaching materials invite participants to put things quickly into practice.

Leaders exert a great influence on the health behavior of their teams. Knowledge of the common mental stresses in the work context and constructive communication are important building blocks for ensuring that mentally stressed employees receive support at an early stage and to create a working environment in which preventive action is possible. In this two-part online training, participants learn how they can best support mentally stressed employees in their role as managers. Aspects such as recognizing and addressing stress are taken into account, as are role clarity and competent referral to support services. All leaders with people responsibility are invited.

A prerequisite for prevention and health promotion in the company is a culture in which stress can be addressed at an early stage. Surveys show, however, that employees often do not trust themselves to turn to their managers or HR representatives in the event of a mental health problem. A helpful step toward greater psychological safety can be trained confidants who take responsibility for mental health in their own organization. The Mental Health Ambassador program is a training program for employees in all areas (except HR and leadership roles). The program trains participants to provide informal one-on-one support to those affected, to act as culture-builders to reduce the stigma of mental health problems, and to drive internal communication about mental health.

A new job, family problems or major social challenges – in life we are repeatedly confronted with situations that challenge our mental strength and demand new coping strategies. In this training we sensitise participants to the effects of crises and normalise their experiences. Based on the concept of basic psychological needs, we teach strategies for dealing with crises and guide participants to explore their scope for action in times of crisis. The training includes the workbook ‘A little help in troubled times’, which will be sent to participants prior to the training.

Everybody experiences phases of mental or emotional stress. Not always are our own strategies sufficient to cope with these challenges on our own. An individual coaching can help to gain new strength, to shift perspective and develop clear visions of our future self. In our individual coaching sessions, we support employees with their current troubles by means of solution-focused systemic counseling methods and put them into action through exercises. With professional support, our coaches can draw on already existing resources. For larger coaching contingents, we are happy to refer you to our EAP partner.

As a leader, you are facing special challenges every day. The request to ensure high level performance alongside being an empathic leader can lead to mental stress at times. If the pressure increases and aggravating conditions (e.g. remote work) are added to the equation, stress in the team can sometimes no longer be adequately moderated. In individual coaching, these challenges are thoroughly looked at and worked through with care. Based on the concept of non-violent communication and using systemic methods, new ways of dealing with challenges are developed and put into action through exercises.

The way we work together and communicate in teams influences on our mental well-being, our health and our motivation. Role ambiguities, lack of appreciation and open or smouldering team conflicts, on the other hand, can increase our mental load. Strain and stress are often transferred to fellow team members. A ‘Clear the Air’ supervision accompanies teams and individual colleagues in conflict resolution. Based on the concept of non-violent communication and using systemic methods, new ways of dealing with challenges are developed and put into action through exercises.
