Mental Health Workshop: Social Isolation & Alcohol
We have not had it easy over the past year. It is important to stay at home with corona outside the door, but even that is not always good for you. This can lead to social isolation. This is no longer a thing for older people but is actually very common among students.
On January 20th, AEGEE-Amsterdam will give a workshop on social isolation in collaboration with the Mental Health Working Group.
But wait, there's more! This is not just a workshop, but a 2 in 1 workshop. January is internationally known as Dry January, the month of not drinking. To focus on the influence of alcohol on your mental health, the MHWG organises another workshop on alcohol, and all of that for free!
Join these online workshops via this link and learn more about how to deal with your mental health.

#AEGEESurvey #10Minutes #cookthepasta To remind you, the AEGEE Survey is still ongoing. A short questionnaire through which we aim at measuring the general impact of our activities and identifying the profile of the average AEGEE member in 2020. Why this survey is IMPORTANT? - To identify the ways in which AEGEE influences the personal and professional development of young people;
- To tailor the activities of AEGEE based on the results;
- To sell to partners and grant donors the profile of our membership (also at local level);
- To understand the evolution of our membership in this time. The last survey we had was conducted in 2013. That’s 7 years without data!
Filling in the AEGEE Survey takes approximately 10 minutes. That’s the same time it would take you to cook the pasta so use those 10 minutes to contribute to the greater good of AEGEE!
Find the survey here. |  |
