TREND Training in Poznań

The TREND Poznań training, held from May 27–29 2025, was an enriching experience that effectively connected laboratory research with clinical insight. A central component was the Mental Health First Aid training, which focused on recognizing and managing anxiety and panic attacks, with special emphasis on promoting mental well-being in the workplace. Participants gained practical strategies to support mental health through discussions on work-life balance and recognizing early signs of distress. A key highlight was an in-depth conversation with a psychiatrist, who shared valuable perspectives on how circadian rhythms influence mental health and emphasized the importance of physical activity, nutrition, sleep hygiene, and psychotherapy in overall well-being. The program also included group presentations, a mentoring session, and a discussion on intergenerational trauma, allowing participants to engage in cross-disciplinary dialogue and refine their ability to translate scientific research into clinical contexts.
