The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined 📝mental health as a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his_her potential, can cope with normal life stress, can work productively and is able to contribute to the community. Mental health is not just the absence of a mental disorder. ❌
This became especially clear during the pandemic, and if any topic became popular during the pandemic, then it is a topic of mental health. ✅
After the summer break, Coca-Cola HBC B-H Sarajevo continued with the implementation of the Coca-Cola project support to young people. Following the first webinar on Fact checking, media and scientific literacy, a new webinar is planned for September 14 at 5 pm on Mental health as a foundation for development, progress and overcoming challenges.
Prof. Dr. Ivana Zečević, who will lead this webinar, is an associate professor in the study program of psychology at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Banja Luka and a psychotherapist.
Applications for participation are required, open until September 14, until the very beginning of the webinar, and the application form can be found at the link: http://bit.ly/prijavaCCPM2021
- Who is Ivana?
Ivana Zečević held a workshop on this topic in the first part of the season, before the summer break, and the participants had only words of praise for her:
- “Everything was really professional and well designed. We had enough space and opportunities to gain useful knowledge, but also to ask questions and discuss what is bothering us. This is one of the ways we can best contribute to our community to function better, and to help ourselves and the people around us who are unaware that they need help.”
- “Wonderful energy and a great lecturer. It is always good to know more about mental health and how to preserve it, especially in this time of pandemic.”
Although primarily intended for young people aged 18-30, everyone can participate in the workshops, noting that those under 18 can follow the program with the prior written consent of their parents. People older than 30 can also participate if they belong to vulnerable categories of unemployed or otherwise vulnerable groups (national minorities, people with disabilities), people who lost their jobs due to the pandemic…).
