Friday 28th of June, 12.00-13.00 pm CET on Zoom
In academia, the prevalence of mental health symptoms is a growing concern. There is a notable incidence of mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and burnout, among early career researchers, and evidence suggests that senior academics also experience the burden of mental health challenges. This trend is alarming for both the research community and policymakers alike. How can we draw support from our community of academic peers for addressing mental health?
In this fourth webinar on mental health (28 June, 12.00-13.00 CET), we bring together a panel of three YAE members who will discuss the role of mentorship – both as mentor and mentee – as an important mechanism for traversing the challenges of academic life, and not least as a way to voice and work through issues affecting our mental health. Join a facilitated conversation between Mar Rus-Calafell, Bhismadev Chakrabarti, and Scott Bremer, as they share their diverse experiences with mentoring, and contribute with your questions and experiences. The event will be moderated by YAE Activities Chair, Viktorija Vaštakaitė-Kairienė.
This mental health webinar series will culminate in a workshop on scientific leadership with attention to mental health, at the AGM in the end of August. Don’t forget to register and join us in Strasbourg on the 26th and 27th of August.
