Mental health is essential, especially in stressful times. Our aim is to raise awareness of mental health and lower the inhibition threshold for counseling services. We offer workshops on stress management, resilience training and mindfulness courses. We are thus expanding UP's existing range of services to offer students a confidential point of contact in stressful situations.

We have trained Feel Good Coaches for this purpose: they act as multipliers. They communicate the values of the Feel Good Campus to the outside world and serve as the first point of contact for students to find the right counseling center at UP. Through events such as the MENTAL HEALTH Day and the MENTAL UP awareness month, we bring visibility to these important topics in everyday university life.

We are working to create more visible rest and relaxation areas on campus that are freely accessible to all. Quiet islands, relaxation rooms and specially equipped study rooms should ensure that students can regenerate in a pleasant environment. Our aim is to create places throughout the campus where students can take a quiet break or meditate for a short while.

A central aim of the Feel Good Campus is to promote an open and supportive community on campus. Through social and interactive events such as Health Days, Body and Mind Lounge, Feel Good Café and other specials, we aim to create a culture of togetherness. Our aim is for all members of the university to feel part of a community where they can find support and connection.

We are currently involved in the university development plan, where we are structurally incorporating the topic of health. We are also working on a university-wide health survey to comprehensively and scientifically record the health of Potsdam's students. In order to be able to carry out multifaceted and all-encompassing work, we often join forces with other UP institutions. By working together with the Occupational Health Management department, we aim to create a healthy environment for the entire university and unite all members of the UP.
