Presented by FIE: Foundation for International Education

SGLC 2024
APRIL 5 - 6, 2024 | LONDON, UK & ONLINE

LEADERSHIP AND MENTAL HEALTH: EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES TO THRIVE

The global need to address mental health and wellbeing has never before been so clear, or so urgent. Millions of people worldwide have mental health conditions and an estimated one in four people globally will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime (United Nations). During the first year of the pandemic, “estimates put the rise in both anxiety and depressive disorders at more than 25%” (World Mental Health Report, 2022, United Nations). The problem is not strictly, or even predominantly, an individual one – it is a social crisis.Wider social issues such as poverty, racism, and sexism are of course linked to this crisis, often causing or exacerbating mental health issues. Now, perhaps more than ever, effective leadership must be built on a foundation of self-care and wellbeing Rethinking our collective attitudes, actions, and approaches to mental health is essential to ensure everyone has an opportunity to thrive. FIE’s eighth Student Global Leadership Conference aims to inspire the leaders of tomorrow to foster environments, communities and workplaces conducive to optimal mental wellbeing.

The Student Global Leadership Conference has been hosted by FIE: Foundation for International Education since 2013. It was developed to bring people together who feel as passionate as we do about sustainability, diversity &inclusivity, social justice, and human rights. We believe that by inspiring and empowering YOU - the change makers of the future – can all enjoy a better tomorrow. Join us to make it happen!   

FOR FACULTY & UNIVERSITY STAFF: Utilize sessions from the Student Global Leadership Conference in your own academic course, leadership seminar, team building exercise, or student organization!
