This resource- and application-oriented workshop provides the female participants with space and permission to stop and take stock of their situation. They will explore the themes of self-care, resilience, work-life balance, and sustainable working practices within the academic setting.

We will discuss individual factors influencing one’s psychological health and occupational functionality, such as role expectations, values, resources and life-style factors as well as the psychological model of resilience and look at practical ways to implement these concepts in everyday life.

Participants will assess their current work-life balance while exploring ways to reallocate resources, time, and value to different areas of their life in order to build a working schedule that is sustainable. Emphasis will be placed on having a reflective experience, promoting benevolence with oneself and in this way, create individual and truly long-lasting solutions.
