UJEP invites to the Day for Social Security in the Region
Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem invites everyone to the Purple Auditorium of the UJEP in Ústí nad Labem on 7 May, where the Day for Social Security in the Region will take place. The event will open up important topics that concern the whole society through panel discussion and debate.
This year’s themes are:
‘Do men really not cry?’
Myths about mental health and suicide
10:00-11:30 a.m., Purple Room 1.32 MFC
The topic of mental health is still shrouded in many myths. One of them is the idea that ‘a good man doesn’t cry.’ But how do these expectations affect the psyche of men? Why do they make up the majority of people who take their own lives? And how can we as a society encourage a more open approach to mental health for all?
This panel discussion will focus on the taboo of emotions, approaches to mental health care, and specific ways to prevent suicide.
Discussion guests:
Mgr. Mgr. Barbora Pšenicová Director of NEVYPUSŤ DUŠI
Mgr. Bc. Adéla Klingelová Manager of the Anger Management Program OPEN MEN’S LEAGUE
Mgr. Petr Matoušek sociologist, social worker, therapist, lecturer
‘NO means NO’
How is the definition of rape changing in the Czech Republic?
12:00-13:30, Purple Auditorium 1.32 MFC
What exactly does ‘NO means NO’ express? How is the definition of rape changing and what impact will the new crime of sexual assault have? Come hear and discuss the changes in the law that are changing the way we view sexual violence in this country.
The discussion will focus on why the redefinition was necessary, what challenges it will bring to practice, and what it means for each of us.
Discussion guests:
Mgr. Mgr. Johana Vrbová, associate at HRDÁ LEGAL, s.r.o.
JUDr. Aneta Schwarzová, Assistant Judge at the Regional Court in Ústí nad Labem
Johanna Nejedlová, Executive Director of KONSENT, z.s.
