Well-Being, what is it good for

Many media reports in the media show us that there is a kind of pandemic of stress and low well-being among students and the general population as well. But what is well-being and what is it good for? If we 'just treat each other normally', as one teacher once proposed as his 'solution' to low wellbeing among students, can't we just be happy in our work and personal lives?

In this lecture, Dr. Ed de Bruin will discuss what well-being is, what can go wrong and right with it, and what we can do to support or improve well-being.

Your time as a student is fun but it can also be difficult sometimes. A lot of students who experience problems regarding their wellbeing, such as stress, depression or anxiety, first turn to their friends to talk about it before talking to anyone else.

In practice, it can sometimes be difficult to know what to say or do when a friend is having a difficult time. The "Look After Your Friend-training" has been developed to provide you with information but we also practice together with the tips and tricks we give you.
