In the organizer's words:

Strengthening women's mental health - recognizing stress, implementing solutions

Stress-related mental illnesses such as exhaustion syndromes, adjustment disorders and depression affect women significantly more often than men - not because of psychological vulnerability, but because of structurally higher multiple burdens at work, in the family and with care responsibilities. The latest forsa survey commissioned by KKH Kaufmännische Krankenkasse shows: Almost 70% of all parents regularly feel overburdened - this figure is even higher for single parents and mothers in particular.

As a healthcare system, politicians and society, we are faced with the task of not only analyzing this stress situation, but also developing concrete medical and work-related solutions. How can the healthcare system, employers and family policy make a targeted contribution to promoting resilience and prevention?

Health Care Bayern e.V. has been able to attract four experts - Rebekka Rupprecht, Managing Director of the German Mothers' Convalescence Association, Beate Cubitt, lawyer and Head of Human Resources at Ulm University Hospital, Prof. Raimund Geene from the Alice Salomon University / Berlin School of Public Health at Charitè, and Natalie Klüver, author and journalist - to shed light on this controversial topic from a wide range of perspectives and highlight prevention options.
