How regularly? That's really up to you as a group and it's one of things that we set together in the first meeting, together with what you expect of the group, whether you'd like to have a Whatsapp group, etc.
It's great that the IRB is taking the mental health of their PhD students seriously - they have a mental health working committee and their amazing Student Council has recently organized the first event on Mental Health of PhD students, to start talking about these common issues.
👉“Mental Health for PhD students”: removing the stigma around #mentalhealth.
✍️The first of a series of training sessions devoted to the mental health of the #PhD community, organised by the #IRBBarcelona Student Council.

#MentalHealthAwareness
With therapists Ana and Chris from PeacehD, we hope to having gotten across that all those issues are standard ways of adapting to the demanding PhD environment, are nothing to be ashamed of and can be improved! If your institution is interested in such an event, contact me!
This is one of our first steps👣at the Student Council towards #MentalHealthAwareness🧠of PhDs at our institute. Big thanks 🙏 to @IRBBarcelona and our 4 amazing speakers for bringing about this change.

Llevo un mes yendo al psicólogo para aprender a gestionar mi ansiedad, deteriorada en el último año. Lo cuento porque creo que es bueno visibilizarlo para derribar prejuicios. Y señalar que el acceso a profesionales de salud mental no puede ser un privilegio de quien puede pagar.
Me quedo con esta frase: Nunca menosprecies a alguien que te diga que está triste diciéndole que lo que debe hacer es estar mejor. (Créeme, eso ya se le ha ocurrido.)
Estas navidades una amiga me recomendó un comic del ilustrador Alfonso Casas, y me dijo que me gustaría porque "va de la ansiedad que es tu tema" :D Se llama MonstruosaMente y lo recomiendo muchísimo!
Idea? Todos tenemos que aprender a convivir con nuestros monstruos.👇
Y quiénes son esos monstruos? Yo varios me los conozco bien, y muchos son aplicables al mundo del doctorado. La verdad es que me ha encantado la manera de la que te cuenta su historia, con mucho humor pero también con un montón de verdades al rededor de la salud mental.
If you've been feeling like you don't belong or that you're not good enough, or if you've been doubting your skills/competencies, please watch this 3-minute video by @LeKissick. It'll help 🙂

I go first:
1. Psychological resilience
2. Fighting the negative thought that I am not good enough
3. Make your mental health a priority, be nice to yourself and take time off
Now you go!

Former PhDs I have 3 questions for you
1.What do you think is the most important non-technical skill that one needs to do a PhD successfully?
2.What was the most difficult thing for you in the PhD?
3.What would you give as advice to anyone doing a PhD?
