During the training, we will become familiar with the specific psychological challenges in the political environment and will master methods for support, stabilization and building resilience when working with public figures.
We will examine real situations from political life, analyze the psychological mechanisms of public pressure and develop practical skills for working with stress, online aggression and emotional exhaustion in leaders.
