From cancer and a car accident to gold at the championships – the extraordinary story of Justyna Franieczek

News about the “Suicidology” project

Justyna has come a long way, which many would consider impossible. Cancer, a car accident, an 8-year break from sports, and doctors’ diagnosis that she would never regain full fitness. However, not only did she come back, but today she stands on the podium, wins medals, and motivates others to never give up.

In the latest episode of the podcast “Jestem tu, jeszcze” (I’m still here), she talks about how sport became her salvation, what the struggle for every step looked like, and why it is worth fulfilling your dreams – even the smallest ones. It is a story of strength, passion, and inspiration for anyone who has ever faced difficulties.

The episode is available to listen to on Spotify and YouTube.

“Suicidology” project – a multi-phase educational and research campaign

Since 2024, Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School has been implementing the project “Suicidology – state of knowledge analysis and educational campaign” funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

The project aims to raise awareness of the problem of suicide and prepare a wide-ranging educational campaign. The initiative involves research at various levels of society, including educational, professional and medical communities. The collected data will be used to create personalized prevention strategies aimed at supporting people in crisis, as well as preventing critical situations.

The project is funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. You can follow the progress of the work on the project’s dedicated website: www.sgmk.edu.pl/suicidology, where we publish updates on a regular basis. The site also includes an interactive map of workshops conducted under the project.
