EU Advisory Mission to Ukraine hosts online event on Mental Health for around 1,500 participants
11/11/2022
On 7 November, the EU Advisory Mission to Ukraine (EUAM) held an online event on mental health.
The event was streamed live on various online platforms, including Zoom, YouTube, Vimeo and Telegram, and attracted some 1,500 participants from across Ukraine, including Internal Affairs University cadets and law-enforcement and rule-of-law agencies (LEA) representatives.
The event was originally planned for 10 October, World Mental Health Day. However, the event had to be postponed due to a wave of missile attacks, with one rocket exploding near and damaging EUAM headquarters in Kyiv.
The international and Ukrainian experts invited by the EUAM brought attention to stress in LEAs’ daily work, as well as ways and skills needed to deal with it.
“Knowing more about stress and trauma, and measuring how to reduce its negative effects is important for our own health and well-being,” said Kirsten Joppe, Head of the EUAM Governance Component. “It helps to understand other people, their reactions and behaviour in different situations.”
