On September 25, 2024, a workshop on the topic “Fundamentals of Youth Mental Health” was held at the Kazakh-American Free University. The speaker was Max Fuhrmann, Content Creation Manager from Start2 Group GmbH (Munich, Germany). The event was held as part of the celebration of the university’s 30th anniversary.

During the event, Max Fuhrmann shared his experience of working with young people within the framework of large European projects aimed at improving the psycho-emotional state of young people. He covered important aspects of maintaining mental health in the context of modern challenges: from the influence of social networks to the pressure associated with societal expectations.

Participants actively asked questions and shared their opinions, which made the workshop interactive and useful.
