Mental Health Day on October 10
Also at the university as a place of learning and working, mental health and well-being play an important role. That is why TUM organizes a year-round program of lectures, workshops, and individual offerings.
On World Mental Health Day on October 10, TUM is also raising awareness of this topic - with a day of action organized by the TUM Institute for LifeLong Learning. The program addresses questions such as: Which research-based approaches can increase mental health and well-being? What should managers actually know about this topic? These and other questions will be answered during the day in a total of 20 virtual short lectures, workshops, mindful breaks and a joint exchange.

Worldwide campaign
The topic of mental health is becoming increasingly important in the modern working world. There are many reasons for this, such as increasing stress factors in the workplace or recent crises like the Corona pandemic, which require greater awareness among superiors as well as in the private environment of those who are affected.
On World Mental Health Day, initiated by the World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) and the World Health Organization (WHO), various activities worldwide are intended to draw attention to the importance of mental health and raise awareness of mental illness. On this day, people working in mental healthcare have the opportunity to talk about their work and related challenges and to invite people to act in solidarity with each other.
