As part of the Faculty of Education’s commitment to supporting the mental health of all its members, and in line with the slogan “Mental Health for All,” and stemming from the role of the Psychological Support Unit—which is not limited to supporting students only but extends to all members of the faculty—
The Psychological Support Unit organized a seminar titled “Between Achievement and Burnout: Smart Management of Work Stress,” targeting members of the administrative staff and assistant faculty members, in support of their vital role within the work environment and to enhance their ability to achieve a balance between work requirements and maintaining mental health.
This was held under the patronage of:

The seminar addressed several themes related to the nature of work stress, the distinction between achievement and burnout, and smart strategies for managing stress, contributing to improved performance efficiency and greater psychological balance.
The seminar witnessed active participation from colleagues among the administrative staff and assistant faculty members. Their contributions during the interactive activities reflected a high level of awareness and interest in the topic, particularly in discussing sources of work stress. Participants shared their experiences and prioritized them according to their personal perspectives, in an atmosphere characterized by interaction and reflection.
A pre‑seminar and post‑seminar survey was also conducted to measure the seminar’s impact.
