30-minute standalone workshop

Mental health: back to basics

How can we take care of our mental health in everyday life?

What the workshop is about

The goal is to return to the basics of mental health and review what we can do every day to protect our own psychological wellbeing.

What does mental health actually mean?
The balance between stress, strain, and recovery
Recognizing and regulating emotions
What supports or burdens our psychological wellbeing?
The role of sleep, exercise, and social connections
Boundaries, overload, and constant availability
Closing exercise: a short “mental health check-in” — participants reflect on which areas are currently going well and where they might need more attention.

30-minute workshop series

Our mental health through life's challenges

Three standalone sessions — can be held individually or as a series.

01
Quarter-life crisis
The panic of “adulting”

Career choices, independence, and the “did I make the right decision?” feeling in young adulthood.

02
Midlife crisis
Rethinking at midlife

Taking stock of goals and roles — what do I still want from the next stage of my life?

03
The sandwich years
Caught between generations

Juggling multiple caregiving roles at once — balancing children, aging parents, work, and your own life.

Every session follows the same structure: what happens at this life stage → recognition → what can help → self-reflection exercise → when to seek outside help.

Out-of-the-box idea 01

Stress-relief walk

Walk & talk — movement itself as the stress-management exercise

Instead of a traditional, seated workshop, the psychologist walks and talks with participants in small groups in a nearby park — focused specifically on stress management. Movement and the natural environment reduce stress in themselves, so the format itself becomes part of the content.

During the walk, with a focus on stress
  • Short breathing and mindfulness exercises during the walk
  • How movement affects stress levels — a live, first-hand experience
  • An open conversation about current workload and stress levels
  • Practical tips for building movement into everyday life
Format
Duration
30–40 minutes
Group size
6–10 people / group
Location
A park or green space near the office
Facilitator
EAP psychologist
Weather-dependent — an indoor backup option is recommended.

Out-of-the-box idea 02

Silent opinion wall

The lowest-barrier format — anyone can take part

A wall set up in a shared space (hallway, kitchen) — or a digital surface accessible via QR code — where colleagues can anonymously write answers to a self-reflection question. Making the responses visible to everyone normalizes the topic, without anyone having to speak up publicly.

Present throughout the entire month — not a single event, but a month-long communal space.
Examples of weekly questions
Week 1
What helps you recharge after a hard day?
Week 2
When did you last feel overwhelmed — and what helped?
Week 3
What message would you send to someone going through a hard time right now?
Week 4
A small habit that really helps you maintain your mental balance.

Out-of-the-box idea 03

30-day mental health kit

One small, tailored step for every day

Throughout the whole month, a short, easy-to-follow message arrives every day via the company's internal channel (email, Teams, Slack, SMS) — something for colleagues to focus on that day. By the end of the month, a well-rounded, personal “toolkit” of small, sustainable steps has come together — instead of a single lecture.

30 days, 30 small steps

Highlighted: a “bigger” weekly exercise alongside the lighter daily steps.

Examples of daily messages
  • “Today: a 10-minute offline walk, no phone.”
  • “Today: write down three things that went well today.”
  • “Today: say no to something you don't want to do.”
