Mental Health Day at Athens College - Psychico College High School

Dec 18, 2024

On Monday, December 16, 2024, the Psychoeducational Department of our School organized the workshop "Shaping the Future: Empowerment and Resilience for Adolescents" for all students of Athens College and Psychico College High School.

A total of 43 speakers of different specialties spoke to students about issues that concern them, with the aim of informing and raising awareness about the importance of mental health in everyday life. The talks were held in two separate sessions where students were divided into small groups and attended the workshops and discussions of their choice, while two keynote speeches were also held in the School Theater, attended by all students.

Through interactive discussions, speeches and hands-on workshops, students had the opportunity to understand key topics such as stress management, self-esteem, healthy personal relationships and managing difficult emotions. The aim of the workshop was to help our pupils identify their needs and develop skills to support them in their psychological wellbeing, encouraging help-seeking when needed and promoting mutual support in the school community.
