The Facens University Center promotes several initiatives that encourage the culture of well-being and quality of life on campus, as well as the construction of an inviting environment for all employees, students, visitors and other members of the community.
In addition to caring for our physical environment, wecarry out a series of activities promoting awareness of health care, andwell-being in all its aspects.
Enlace is the Emotional Collaboration Laboratory of the Facens University Center, which aims to foster the development of social-emotional skills; promote quality of life; and support individuals in the Facens community in their discovery, and achievement of their purposes.
One of Enlace's projects is the Well-being and Flourishing Trail, which provides students with several opportunities for self-knowledge – a primordial tool for understanding internal and interpersonal challenges throughout their personal and professional trajectory. The recognition of students in relation to the proposed activities demonstrates the gains in the process of maturation and self-knowledge:
Throughout the year, the Facens University Center seeks to contemplate the main thematic campaigns in the health area, promoting opportunities to access discussions, and lectures on topics such as pregnancy and breastfeeding care; mental health care; suicide prevention; prevention and fight against breast cancer, prostate cancer, and skin cancer.
In 2022, an initiative that brought together teaching and students of the 1st and 2nd periods of Psychology encompassed discussions and activities in favor of caring for the mental health of the community. This extension project aimed to develop, with students, reflections, and health promotion actions. The focus was on the prevention of mental illness and its aggravations, such as suicide, considering the seriousness of this problem for public health and the Yellow September campaign as a movement to prevent suicide, and value life.
With the supervision of teacher Sandra Cristine Arca, the action took place at SmartMall Facens, at Shopping Cianê, where the students organized themselves into 2-hour shifts of "welcoming groups" that conducted the workshops of "Mindfulness", "Gratitude Panel", "Arts Workshop", "Self-Esteem", while the "messenger groups" walked through the mall delivering messages of appreciation of life and yellow ties to the public that circulated in the mall and to the employees of the stores.
