Strengthening Mental Health – with the "Gesundheitsvorsorge Aktiv" (GVA) Program

Coping Better with Stress – For More Balance and Ease in Everyday Life

Work-related pressure, the need to be constantly available, and the challenges of everyday life leave many people in a state of constant tension. When stress becomes a constant companion, it’s not just our well-being that suffers—our bodies and minds also lose their balance. Chronic stress can weaken the immune system, impair recovery, contribute to sleep disturbances, and even accelerate the aging process.

This is exactly where the “Mental Health” module comes in; it is one of three core modules of the “Health Care Active” (GVA) program. After completing a joint introductory module, therapy is tailored to your individual needs in one of the GVA modules.

Relaxation Training for Greater Inner Peace

In the Mental Health module, you’ll learn to recognize stress early on, become more aware of your personal boundaries, and strengthen your inner resilience. Together with our health psychologists, you’ll develop personalized strategies to face challenges with greater composure and bring more balance to your life over the long term.

One-on-One Coaching Sessions

In one-on-one sessions with our health psychologists, the focus is on your individual stressors and goals. Together, we analyze stress triggers and develop practical strategies for everyday life that will help you cope more healthily with challenges at work and at home.

Mental Health Workshops

In practical workshops, you’ll gain valuable insights into stress management, resilience, and self-care. You’ll learn to recognize stressful thought patterns, tap into your personal resources, and develop new habits that will strengthen your mental health over the long term.

Relaxation Training

Relaxation is a skill you can learn. That’s why you’ll be introduced to proven methods that you can easily practice at home. One focus is on Jacobson’s Progressive Muscle Relaxation, in which physical and mental tension is reduced by consciously tensing and relaxing individual muscle groups. Depending on your treatment plan, additional relaxation exercises may also be used to help you find calm more quickly in your daily life.

After all, sustainable wellness isn't just about taking three weeks for yourself—it's about returning to your daily life feeling stronger, thanks to new routines and effective tools.

Here's what you'll take away from the Mental Health module:

Recognizing Stress Early On
Building Resilience
Learning Relaxation Techniques for Everyday Life
Becoming More Aware of Your Own Limits
Developing New Routines for Greater Serenity

5 Tips for Greater Inner Balance

✔ Make a point of scheduling time for relaxation just as carefully as you do for work appointments.

✔ Just 20 to 30 minutes of exercise a day can help reduce stress hormones.

✔ Take a few deep, conscious breaths several times a day—just a few minutes are often enough to calm the nervous system.

✔ Learn to recognize your limits and to say “no” once in a while.

✔ Prioritize sleep, as it is an important recovery period for both the body and mind.
