Supporting Your Team's Mental Health

To celebrate the 5-year anniversary of the PhD Academy at VŠB-TUO, join us for a webinar by Dr. Desiree Dickerson, author of the courses Mental Health in Academia.

Workshop for PhD student/ early-career researchers' supervisors

Title: Supporting Your Team's Mental Health
Date: September, 24, 2026
Time: 11.00 - 12.30 CEST
Lecturer: Desiree Dickerson, PhD

"I'm an academic, not a therapist. How do I support my students' mental health?" Many supervisors sense their students are struggling but aren't sure how to approach the subject. This interactive session builds a practical toolbox for navigating student mental health and well-being.

Themes:

- How to ask the right questions and why interaction frequency matters
- Step-by-step what to say, and what to do if and when they need support
- What to do and say if you are concerned about suicide risk
- Fostering belonging, self-worth, and capability

Register here.

Registered participants will receive a Zoom link to join the webinar.
