Mental Health in Institutions
Mental health in the workplace - a topic that is fortunately gaining more and more momentum.
More and more companies see it as their responsibility to provide their employees with offers that promote mental well-being and that go far beyond the famous fruit basket or "free yoga".
“Hard work” in art and culture means the extremely high challenges to mental health in theaters, opera and concert halls or even in training centers for artistic professions. Working in this environment can be characterized by irregular working hours, top creative performance, high physical and mental exertion and the pressure to deliver artistic excellence. Measures to promote mental health should therefore take into account the specific conditions and needs of employees in the cultural sector. However, the same applies to institutions or teams as to individuals: no two eggs are the same and various problems cannot be solved with a ready-made "one-size-fits-all" method.
I would be happy to work with your teams in front of and behind the scenes, with your managers, your teachers and students to develop customized strategies and ways...
... to manage stress,
to prevent burnout and strengthen Resilience.
... to destigmatize mental illnesses and to detect mental overload early,
for more mindfulness, well-being and balance.
...for open and appreciative communication and feedback culture
as well as to resolve conflicts, e.g. through regular team supervision.
Please feel free to contact me to find the right format for your employees. For example, one- or multi-day workshops are conceivable - in person or online, several "spotlights" in the form of webinars in which we examine individual aspects of mental health or targeted team coaching for acute or long-simmering conflicts.
My offer is specially aimed at music schools, academies for music and arts, conservatories and music colleges, since it is during childhood and adolescence that patterns for dealing with stress, pressure and expectations of oneself or from outside develop - often unconsciously. These patterns can develop into dysfunctional behaviors that damage mental health or lead to psychosomatic complaints (e.g. self-sabotage, aggression, alcohol or drug abuse). Together, we can make an important contribution to sensitizing children and young people to this at an early stage.
