Staying healthy while supporting others – this course makes salutogenesis tangible and mental hygiene effective.

As a therapist, teacher, employer, or employee, you know that expertise alone does not protect against exhaustion. What is crucial is a clear understanding of how health is created and maintained – for your clients as well as for yourself. This is exactly where this course comes in.

From the perspective of interested participants, it opens up a central shift in perspective: away from the logic of illness and toward salutogenesis—the question of what keeps people healthy despite stress. The theoretical foundations, including Aaron Antonovsky‘s salutogenic model, the sense of coherence, self-efficacy, and concepts such as identity, resilience, and attachment, are taught in a way that is understandable and practical.

Building on this, the course deepens self-awareness and self-regulation. The self is understood as a dynamic process – an approach that strengthens professional self-reflection, boundaries, and confidence in action. Stress theories provide the foundation for classifying and regulating stress in a resource-oriented manner.

The focus on mental hygiene makes the immediate benefits of the course tangible: you will learn preventive, restorative, and curative strategies to reduce stress, mental strain, and imbalances in the long term. Mental hygiene thus becomes a central component of your professional and personal everyday life that enhances your quality of life.

This course opens the door to greater inner stability, clarity, and professional resilience—well-founded, reflective, and effective in the long term.
