On 16 September 2024, the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Silesia in Katowice will host the next edition of the Education Congress, this year under the slogan: ‘IT affects everyone – mental health CRISIS’.
The Education Congress in Katowice has been organised for more than a decade with all those involved in creating a quality educational environment in mind. The education that the event seeks to implement in schools throughout the region refers to the perception of the social world in terms of agency and a sense of community, as well as ethics and responsibility.
The issues that the Congress will focus on are:
- signals of mental crisis and its recognition;
- first aid for the person experiencing a crisis;
- self-harm and self-aggression of children and young people;
- possibilities and forms of crisis intervention at schools;
- the role of social support networks in the healing process of children and young people;
- prevention of secondary trauma as a consequence of helping the traumatised person;
- characteristics of developmental stages in terms of vulnerability to crisis.
Detailed programme can be found on the event’s webpage.
