Under the supervision of the Dean of the College of Pharmacy, Professor Dr. Sarmed H. Kathem Alkhateeb, the University Psychological Counseling Unit at the University of Baghdad/College of Pharmacy, held an awareness workshop entitled “Mental Health: Our Path to Balance and Happiness,” delivered by Assistant Lecturer Iman Sattar Razzaq, a member of the University Psychological Counseling Unit.
The workshop aimed to introduce the concept and importance of mental health as a fundamental pillar of physical well-being, focusing on indicators of psychological disorders, the factors affecting mental health and methods for its promotion.
The workshop included interactive discussions on major psychological challenges in Iraqi and Arab societies and reviewed results from a mental health survey among faculty and staff.
