BEHAVIORAL

Mental health course

The student course involves classroom-based teaching of eight lessons over eight weeks. The aim is to strengthen students' faith in their own abilities (self-efficacy) and ability to understand themselves and others (mentalization). In this way, students become better at entering into positive relationships and communities as well as better at handling everyday challenges both academically and socially. The student course includes teaching, exercises and training in simple tools for mastery and mentalization. The student courses in the classes are handled by staff close to the students and are based on both physical and digital material as well as an app for the students. The employees initially participate in a competency development course.
