Lighthouse Career Cafe: Mental Well-being

Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam

Monthly inspiring talk with alumni sharing their journey of discovering their “why”, what motivates them and how they got to where they are.

The Living Room, Campus Erasmus University Rotterdam

<h2>Lighthouse Career Café: Mental Well-being</h2>The new college year has started, which means we also created a new set of Lighthouse Career Café's with a variety of different topics. As mental health is becoming increasingly important, we decided that there is no better way to start the new year with a session about Mental well-being in your studies and when you land your first job. We have invited recently graduated alumni to share their inspiring story with us. Our host will linkup with alumni to talk about their mental health struggles during their studies and after graduation, what struggles they may have faced and explore what career paths they chose after their study.Theme: Mental Health during your studies and in your (first) jobMeet our guests: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alyciacolijn/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Alycia Colijn</a>| Mental Health Activist | D&amp;I Advocate | Young Talent IT Programme at KPN<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophieschmeets/?originalSubdomain=nl" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sophie Schmeets</a> | Founder of Maskerclass<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/maartjezaal/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Mae Zaal</a> | Founder and Co-President of Let’s Break the Shame FoundationHost: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ida-loeschel-18934b217/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ida Löschel</a> | President of Happy Student SocietyLocation: The Living RoomThis talk is organized by the Erasmus Alumni Relations Office.

During my studies, I faced several periods of adversity, but never really opened up about it. Those around me always thought that I was easing through my time as a student, but it was only around the time of my graduation that I started sharing about the burn-out I went through during my fourth year at university. I launched a platform for others to speak up about it as well, and to inform them about coping with stressful situations, time-management and mindset shifts. However, life has it’s mysterious ways and in 2021 I slowly entered the dark, ending up in a severe depression. Nowadays, I’m sharing about my broader journey through the field of mental health on Instagram and LinkedIn, including snippets of my therapy sessions, books I read and lessons learned.I’d be happy to share my story with you during the LCC, hope to see you there!

The former EUR student ended up in depression twice over the last 5 years. Since 2018, she has been committed to sharing knowledge and experience among students and employees - before and after each other. Her company Maskerclass offers advice and implementation solutions in the field of prevention and mental Bless you. “More openness and vulnerability is in the interests of the entire organization.

<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/maartjezaal/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Mae Zaal</a> | Founder and Co-President of Let’s Break the Shame FoundationLet’s Break the Shame was founded late 2018 by Mae Zaal. Throughout her teenage and young adolescent years, she experienced the weight of the mental health stigma herself. She noticed that people are ashamed to talk about their mental well-being, because when they open up, they’re often told to stop complaining. She knows, because she was too afraid to talk about her depression and eating disorder herself.Mental topics should be taken seriously at all times. With Let’s Break the Shame we initially wanted to start an online campaign in which people felt comfortable and safe sharing their mental health journey. It turned out to be a big success and after meeting up with many participants, it became clear that there was a need for more. Today, the foundation runs high school &amp; university programs, hosts mental health events throughout the country, speaks at conferences and shares knowledge and experience online. Let’s work on a healthier world, together!
