In addition, there will be information on how to become a mental health first aider and you will be introduced to the method of peer coaching.
You will learn about the forms and triggers of aggression and threats, specific warning signals for imminent escalation and strategies for psychological de-escalation and setting boundaries. In addition, preventative measures and dealing with stress will be discussed.
Course Description (Nov 28, 2024 from 10.15-11.45am | online)
The diverse interactions that take place at a university between students, academic staff and technical and administrative employees usually run quite smoothly. However, unacceptable escalations can occur too. Insults, threats of violence and vandalism are just examples.
The reasons for conflict depend on the respective area of one’s own activity: Missing a deadline, receiving a tip-off about one’s own misconduct or the feeling of being treated disadvantageously compared to others are among the risk situations in which some people react increasingly aggressively.

With the HiddenChamps offer GSO connects companies with researchers – in the next webinar, GSO will focus entirely on the Humanities and Social Sciences.

“Close the gap: Wie können Geschlechteraspekte stärker in der Forschung berücksichtigt werden?” Onlinediskussion mit Prof. Dr. Oliver Werz und Prof. Dr. Anna Kipp Moderation: Dr. Michael Wutzler online von 16-17 Uhr
Die Dominanz männlicher Perspektiven hat auch in der Wissenschaft dazu geführt, dass geschlechterspezifische Daten in vielen Bereichen der Forschung und der Gesellschaft unzureichend erfasst sind: Sei es bspw. bei der Wirkung von Medikamenten, den Arten der Fortbewegung, bei Sicherheitstechnologien oder der Altersvorsorge. Dabei führt Gendersensibilität zu einer höheren wissenschaftlichen Qualität und präziseren Ergebnissen, die auch in der Praxis zu besseren Anwendungen führen. Nicht zuletzt trägt gendersensible Forschung zu einer gleichstellungsorientierten gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung bei. Dahingehend hat sich in den letzten Jahren einiges getan.
