Action week on mental health: Help at work from October 10th!

In the district of Stade, the action week "Hand in hand for mental health at work" will take place from October 10th to 20th. The aim of this initiative is to draw attention to mental health at work and offer wide support. Martin Horn, head of the social psychiatric service, emphasizes the need to sensitize companies and employees to psychological stress and to put important support offers in the spotlight. At a time when stress and shortage of skilled workers play an important role, questions such as: "How do we stay healthy in everyday work?" And "How can the stigmatization of psychological problems be reduced?" This week, employees should help employees find answers to these important concerns.

The action week is supported by a variety of facilities, including local associations, specialists and psychological services. On Wednesday, October 16, experts will be present at various locations in Stade from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., followed by another event on Thursday, October 17, from 2pm to 6pm in Buxtehude. These opportunities offer people the opportunity to find out more about mental health and available support services.
