on April 18, 2011 USA EST 3:00 p.m.
Faculty, international, and domestic student representatives from the psychology department at King’s College will lead an interactive discussion on the role of psychology in addressing the global problem of mental health. The format is discussion, not lecture, with questions posed both by the audience and by the facilitators. Specific focus will be on how people react to stressful events, and the strategies they can develop to cope with universal negative emotions like anxiety, fear, and depression. We also want to explore how the effects of psychological stress are expressed differently in various cultures, and how the global resources of academic communities can be used to develop cooperative initiatives to foster psychological health.
