Mental Health Mondays

We’re excited to introduce a new series of workshops.

These workshops will take place once a month, starting with October 16th, 2023, at 6 pm. The meetings will always be held at the LUCKAN integration center, Yrjönkatu 27, Helsinki.

This month, we’re diving deep into a crucial topic: loneliness. We’ll explore why it can be a real challenge and, most importantly, equip you with strategies to overcome it.

Feel free to bring along your friends and let’s create a supportive and understanding community together.

And mark your calendars for our upcoming “Mental Health Mondays” on November 13th and December 11th.

Join us as we prioritize mental well-being and make Mondays the best day of the week. See you there! You can register HERE or under:
