As part of the UCP2 Mental Health* initiative, which which promotes and prevents mental health and well-being among Católica students as one of its key pillars, a series of workshops on "Mental Health Literacy and Psychological First Aid" will be held from April 4 to May 16.
All interested students from the Lisbon campus of Católica can check the schedule and a brief description of each session to participate in the ones that interest them the most.
Don't forget!
