A Cup of Coffee With a Psychologist
A CUP OF COFFEE WITH A PSYCHOLOGIST
In order to point out the importance of mental health and encourage the public to seek help from experts, Hemofarm Foundation has launched the project A Cup of Coffee with a Psychologist, with the aim to influence general public's awareness that mental health must be taken care of in the same way as physical health, and that mental health disorders are not a personal weakness, but rather a health problem for which there is an adequate solution if expert assistance is sought in time.

A Cup of Coffee with a Psychologist project has been conceived as a series of free-of-charge sessions with psychologists in which all interested parties can get an insight into particular psychological conditions and obtain advice on whom to address for getting support. The panel talks are an opportunity to talk about mental health openly with experts – psychologists and psychiatrists, as well as with the representatives of relevant institutions and public figures who have personally coped with some of the problems in their life.

A Cup of Coffee with a Psychologist project has been implemented with the support of the Psychology Institute within the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, and in partnership with Art Commune Dorćol Platz.

During the implementation of the project, the talks were organized dealing with depression, stress at work, career vs. family, how to cope with an illness, how to accept the fact that you cannot get pregnant, divorce, addiction, how to restrain children from using electronic gadgets.

Serbia is a society with deeply rooted prejudices and stereotypes, mostly related to gender equality, ethnic background as well as prejudices against various minority groups. Inconsiderate labeling of people can often lead to long-lasting, and in some cases even fatal consequences, and it is very pronounced towards people suffering from mental illness. Why we have prejudices and stereotypes and how to overcome them we discussed with Dr. Tatjana Voskresenski, Director of the Special hospital for psychiatric diseases ‘Dr. Slavoljub Bakalovic’ in Vrsac, Milica Ninkovic, PhD student in the Department of Psychology and researcher in the Laboratory for research of individual differences, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade and Djurdja Stojiljkovic, psychologist and model.

Every society functions based on trust, while distrust in the world and the system is a great burden on the mental health of each individual. The global situation has deepened the already existing divisions and created the new ones that have induced the fear of disease and uncertainty in everyone. One thing is for sure – the changes have also brought a sense of unity. ‘We are all in the same boat, united in fear and the desire to find a solution’, was one of the messages of the panel session “How to preserve mental health in a divided society?’ at which we talked with Prof. Dr Dragan Popadic, Full Professor, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, Maša Vukčević Marković, psychologist, scientific associate at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade and Director of the organization PIN, doc. Dr Kaja Damnjanovic, Laboratory for Experimental Psychology, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, and Dragan Ilic, psychologist and journalist.
