On the occasion of the #MyMindMyPriority campaign, the ADEPSY proposes a round‑table discussion on the psychological problems encountered by young people during their studies.

In an era where academic performance is a major preoccupation in the lives of young people, projecting oneself and reconciling studies and psychological well‑being at the same time is a challenge. Moreover, the recent crises have highlighted the lack of consideration from society regarding the difficulties experienced by young people.

How to maintain good mental health while in school?
How can I be made aware of the importance of mental health?
What tools do we already have at our disposal to prevent psychological difficulties in young people?
How can we support and guide students who are experiencing difficulties in their academic and professional journeys?

As we talk more and more about mental health and its importance in our daily lives, we now have the keys to take action. We can further develop our physical, intellectual and psychological resources to make mental health a priority for everyone. This means finding solutions adapted to the specific problems of young people, and integrating them into the thinking process using their skills and initiatives.

This round‑table is intended to be interactive and will allow the public to actively participate in the discussions by asking questions to the experts and to Adepsy.
