In 2023, the Feel Good Coach training took place at the University of Potsdam for the first time!
There will be no new Feel Good Coach training in 2025.
What is a Feel Good Coach?
As a Feel Good Coach, you support students at the University of Posdam in strengthening individual skills and resources and make the university campus healthier and more health-conscious. As a guide, contact person and advisor, you promote the health of students on the one hand and encourage health-conscious thinking on the other.
To this end, you will learn many skills in our training program, acquire sound theoretical knowledge and have the opportunity to open up the space for health promotion and actively help shape it.
What does the Feel Good Coach training involve?
Five modules await you in our free training course.
We start with a basic unit to introduce you to student health management. There are also modules on the basics of communication, conversation, conflict resolution, exercise and mental health. The modules are held over three days in April or May. As the last module, you will support the Feel Good team during Feel Good Week, which is the practical part of the course. The Feel Good Week is scheduled for 05.06.2023 to 09.06.2023.
At the end, you will receive a certificate from the University of Potsdam.
Module 1: Student Health Management
Module 2: Communication and Conversation
Module 3: Mental Health
Module 4: Movement
Module 5: Feel Good Week
Why Feel Good Coaches?
The Feel Good Campus, as student health management at UP, aims to encourage students to adopt health-conscious behavior and ways of thinking and to provide them with the best possible support for a healthy approach to their studies. This requires trained supervisors who can integrate projects and measures in close proximity to students.
The Feel Good Coach works closely but independently with the Feel Good Campus to make student health management more visible and to further develop support and participation in the improvement of university structures.
Participation in the training also includes the obligation to work as a Feel Good Coach for at least one semester. Work as a Feel Good Coach can be compensated after successful training.
