Young people in crisis: suicidology and subjectivity

The ninth seminar in the 2024/2025 academic year series “Man and subjectivity in reality: in the light of critical realism” will be held on May 23 in Szczecin. The event will be devoted to the topics of mental health and suicidology, taking into account the impact of social and cultural changes on the mental condition of the younger generation. 

Representatives of the Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School will take part in the seminar. They will give presentations on the cultural and social factors of escapist attitudes and suicidal behavior among young people, as well as the mental health crisis among youth. 

The results of research conducted by the Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School as part of the project entitled “Suicidology – state of knowledge analysis and educational campaign,” financed by the Minister of Science, will also be presented. 

 The event is a continuation of an interdisciplinary debate on the condition of modern man in the context of changing social, cultural, and mental realities. 

It is organized in a hybrid mode – simultaneously in the building of the Academy of Applied Sciences at the Society for General Knowledge in Szczecin, 15 Monte Cassino Street and online – to enable the attendance of a wide range of participants from various research centers and expert communities. 

 The seminar will be an opportunity for reflection, exchange of knowledge, and integration of scientific and educational communities and practitioners dealing with mental health and youth issues in the era of contemporary social change. 

 The event is organized by the International Department of Critical Realism of the Academy of Applied Sciences at the Society for General Knowledge in Szczecin. 

“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.
