Mastering Mental Crises Together: Knowledge, Exchange, and New Perspectives
Mental crises often fundamentally change the daily lives of those affected and their relatives. The event as part of the week of mental health invites you to an informative lecture, a discussion panel, and a professional exchange on October 14, 2026, in Bielefeld. The focus is on orientation, self-determination, and the question of how support can succeed together in challenging situations.
Inpatient Psychiatric Treatment and Personal Decisions
The event begins with a lecture by Jens Köhler, specialist in psychiatry at the health department of the city of Bielefeld. The focus is on the question of decision-making capacity and thus on a topic that plays an important role in inpatient psychiatric treatment: How are decisions made when a mental crisis impairs one's ability to act?
Relatives in Focus
A discussion panel looks at the situation of relatives. Petra Klein and Oliver Koch from the Evangelical Clinic Bethel, Ulrich Debener from the social psychiatric and crisis service, and Ursula Cimiano as a relative bring together different experiences and professional perspectives. The conversation is moderated by Veriana Theus from the social psychiatric service.
Professional Exchange at Thematic Tables
After the lecture and panel discussion, the exchange at thematic tables offers space for in-depth conversations. Participants include emergency services, regulatory authority, police, Evangelical Clinic Bethel, social psychiatric service, relatives, experienced psychiatric patients, and representatives of outpatient services. This diverse composition makes the event a practical forum for information, networking, and collaborative solutions.
An Event Experience of Societal Importance
The event combines professional categorization with personal encounters. An open event atmosphere, respectful exchange, and the audience mood at the thematic tables create space for questions, experiences, and new impulses. From the perspective of professional event planning, the format aims for a balanced targeting of different audiences: Those affected, relatives, professionals, and interested citizens receive different access points to the topic of mental health.
Conclusion
Mastering Mental Crises Together offers well-founded information, personal perspectives, and the opportunity for direct exchange with professionals and stakeholders. Anyone who wants to better understand mental health, empower relatives, or become acquainted with regional support services will experience a focused and engaged afternoon here. The visit is worthwhile to deepen knowledge, raise questions, and discuss viable ways out of crisis situations together.
