Main research areas

The department conducts research on mental health. In doing so, we focus on the health challenges that the changes in the world of work bring for working people and that can be a cause of chronic stress. We see the digitalisation of workplace health promotion, prevention or therapy as an opportunity to open up contemporary approaches to health promotion and improve care. Therefore, we develop and investigate online trainings and apps for health promotion. At the interface of health psychology, clinical psychology, occupational psychology and computer science, we work across disciplinary boundaries on the young research field of Occupational eMental Health.
