Mind matters -online course

How can you take care of yourself? How about your fellow students? How could you develop a stronger sense of connection with other students? The Mind Matters -online course offers tools and insights to help you promote both your own mental health and that of your fellow students.

After the course you will:

• Understand what factors affect mental health and feel able to influence both your own and your peers’ mental health and well-being.
• Recognise situations where you can show compassion toward yourself and your fellow students.
• Gain tools for talking about difficult issues or concerns and for supporting your peers.
• Get tips and ideas for strengthening community in higher education, and recognise situations where you can help prevent loneliness.
• Understand that each of us can have an impact on our surroundings – and that your actions matter, too!

The course takes about from two to two and half hours to complete. However, you can take as much time as you want to complete the course, and you can do it in several parts, which gives you time to think about the course content and assignments more deeply. You can also go back to the course material after you've finished the course.

The online course can be accessed in a browser, or you can request the course or parts of it in file formats compatible with different learning platforms. The course and its materials are available to everyone free of charge.

Your mind matters – join us to learn how even small actions can improve your own and others' well-being and make studying more meaningful for you and others!
