„Lass Zuversicht wachsen – Psychisch stark in die Zukunft” - unter diesem Motto steht die diesjährige Woche der seelischen Gesundheit und auch wir wollen uns diesem Motto anschließen. 

Denn die psychische Gesundheit ist ein wesentlicher Faktor für unsere Lebensqualität. Gerade die letzten Jahre haben das Thema in den Fokus gerückt. Zugleich steigt der Bedarf an Unterstützung und Therapie und folglich auch die Belastungen für Therapeutinnen und Therapeuten. Das wirft wichtige Fragen auf: Wie sieht die Zukunft der psychischen Gesundheit und der Therapie aus? Welche Herausforderungen erwarten uns – und welche innovativen Ansätze können zur Entlastung und Weiterentwicklung beitragen? Eine mögliche Antwort bietet Neurofeedback.

Gemeinsam mit Dr. rer. nat. Meike Wiedemann und Veronika Kreitmayr werfen wir einen Blick in die Zukunft: Wie entwickelt sich das Therapieangebot und die Bedeutung von mentaler Gesundheit? Welche Potenziale bietet Neurofeedback in der Therapie psychischer Erkrankungen? Und wie entwickelt sich dieser Bereich weiter? 

Freuen Sie sich auf spannende Einblicke, fachlichen Austausch und inspirierende Perspektiven rund um das Thema Neurofeedback und seelische Gesundheit der Zukunft.

Agenda

Zu Beginn erhalten Sie eine kurze Einführung darüber, was Neurofeedback eigentlich ist und wie es funktioniert. Mit Dr. rer. nat. Wiedemann und Veronika Kreitmayr und werden wir anschließend u.a. gemeinsam diskutieren:

• Wie sieht die Zukunft der Therapie aus?
• Vor welchen Herausforderungen steht diese?
• Welche Rolle spielt Neurofeedback in der Zukunft?

Abschließend können Sie Ihre Fragen rund um Neurofeedback stellen. Wir freuen uns auch auf Ihren Input rund um dieses Thema.
