On 27 November, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the Conference “Poverty, Social Exclusion, and Mental Health in Higher Education: An Urgent Challenge” will take place at Carvalho Guerra Auditorium as part of Sustainability Week.

This conference aims to discuss the growing psychological distress among students. The most vulnerable students face greater difficulties in accessing psychological support, compromising their academic performance and social integration. The event seeks to mobilize the community to build more humane and inclusive responses in the defense of mental health in higher education.
