Notify students about the importance of caring for their mental health and tell them about the method of how to do so.
Instagram live held by a professional in the field that will discuss certain aspects concerning one's mental well-being. The event is an engaging and interactive workshop that is designed to introduce students to the topic of how important their mental well-being is how to stay healthy and motivated during uncertain times. Given the situation the world is in at the moment, it is hard for students to stay motivated and not fall into a pit of self-doubt and negative thought. Therefore, we want to give our students the possibility to learn about ways to prevent negative emotions from affecting their lives and how to seek opportunities in the situation they are in right now.
Given this objective, ESN The Hague seeks to organize a mental health workshop, where students will have the opportunity to connect with a professional in the area, ask questions on specific issues they struggle with and be instructed on how to reach for mental health help during their experience in Holland as a student if needed. The event will be organized in the form of an Instagram Live video, where people will be able to chat with the professional in the present time. It will be hosted by the ESN The Hague promotion manager (i.e., Agata), which will be guiding the conversation in a certain direction and help manage the incoming traffic of live viewers.
