The event was commissioned by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education as part of a project “Suicidology – state of knowledge analysis and educational campaign”.

The workshop, entitled “Mental health crisis among young people: How we can reverse the worrying trends together” lasted about two hours. It was led by two experts in the field of suicidology: Sylwia Majewska – psychologist, psychometrist, and coach (PCC), suicidology expert at the Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School, president of the Psychological Center in Szczecin and Eliza Masny – psychologist, coach (MCC) and psychometrist, suicidology expert at the Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School.

The meeting took place in an atmosphere of openness and constructive involvement, and the topics discussed met with great interest from the participants.

“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.
