Mental health during the pandemic

After a long break, BarCamp Ferizaj returned on 11 April 2020 in a new way: online, live on Facebook, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 45th edition was about mental health: how to look after it and manage anxiety and stress at home during the pandemic.

Diadora Cërmjani, a psychologist studying for a master's in School Psychology and Counselling at the University of Pristina and former editor-in-chief of “Psika”, Kosovo's first psychology magazine, presented shendetimendor.uni-pr.edu. First-year master's students in the University's Psychology Department built the platform after the lockdown began; it offers short psycho-educational videos on conditions such as stress and anxiety and how to cope with them at home.

Organised by BarCamp Ferizaj's team of young activists, under the umbrella of Iniciativa për Progres (INPO), with the support of the US Embassy in Pristina.
