On May 11 and 12, during the spring edition of Impact’22, as part of the new thematic track – Mental Health & Wellbeing, the special guest will be Prof. Bogdan de Barbaro, a leading authority in the field of psychotherapy, a psychiatrist, therapist, full professor at Jagiellonian University, and a long-time family therapist. The Impact’22 spring stage will feature a new thematic track, Mental Health & Wellbeing. Focusing attention on mental health and balance in recent years not only contributes to a positive change in social awareness but also offers an opportunity to create a healthier and more business-friendly world. The ability to cope with stress or anxiety are valuable skills not only in private life but also at work. The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine demonstrate that caring for employees' mental well-being is a significant task for corporations and enterprises. Prof. Bogdan de Barbaro, one of the most recognized and respected psychotherapists and psychiatrists in Poland, a professor of medical sciences and former head of the Department of Family Therapy at the Chair of Psychiatry, Collegium Medicum, Jagiellonian University, deals with all these issues daily. Bogdan de Barbaro conducts training for psychotherapists and family therapists. He holds a psychotherapy and supervisor certificate from the Scientific Section of Psychotherapy of the Polish Psychiatric Association. He has numerous scientific works and other publications to his credit, including guides on family relationships. He also became one of the protagonists of Paweł Łoziński's film "Even You Don't Know How Much I Love You". In interviews, Bogdan de Barbaro is regularly asked about how to deal with stress, anxiety, emotional depletion, or denial. He has often pointed out the chaotic state of contemporary culture and civilization, which makes it difficult to decide what is good for ourselves. He spoke out during the difficult period for mental health caused by the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns, and now, during Russia's invasion of Ukraine, he provides answers on how to cope with emotions in challenging situations. Bogdan de Barbaro shares his insights on how to avoid falling into panic in the face of the war at Poland's eastern border: – Check how much news you need to understand the situation, and from what point you would become a slave to the constantly updating information. The professor of psychiatry also suggests methods that can help cope with anxiety: – Part of our mental health is taking care to remain within a group, whether it's a family group or one that unites us. In this group, we can communicate and talk about what we feel: fear, anger, emotion, hope, empathy for the victims of aggression. We name our emotions, but we also reflect on them. Another way to combat negative emotions, according to the professor, can be action: – A sense of agency. Referring to Marcus Aurelius: when I see evil, I should find for myself some good part of action – he says. During the Impact’22 congress in Poznań, Prof. Bogdan de Barbaro, along with other guests, will participate in a discussion addressing the topic of mental health in the workplace, as well as the most current issues affecting the psyche, such as war and the pandemic.
