We Talk.
The new talk series on community mental health, well-being and empowerment.
We (Well-being Empowerment) Talk – is a novel platform created to share, discuss and connect insights from research on well-being and empowerment in communities.
We Talk starts as a series of stimulating talks to facilitate scientific exchange, community engagement and new interdisciplinary cooperation within King’s College London, TU Dresden and beyond.
Why do we need We Talk?
Our entire life is built on communities. Families, peer-groups, neighborhoods, schools, workplaces and many more fundamentally affect individual and societal well-being and the resulting socio-economic side-effects. At the same time, mental conditions are very common and the gap between those who could benefit from care and support and those who are actually able to access evidence-based interventions is wide.
Therefore, we believe that the existing body of ideas, knowledge and experience on how to improve health and happiness starting at the community level should be made available as an impactful source of inspiration, empowerment and interdisciplinary collaboration.
