Go for it, sign up and start developing PSC today:

The World Health Organization (WHO), in its 1948 Constitution, defined health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, [which] does not consist merely in an absence of disease or infirmity". (WHO 1948)

What are Psychosocial Competencies? In its first definition, proposed in the 1990s, the WHO broadly defines psychosocial competence as "a person's ability to cope effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life. It is a person's ability to maintain a state of mental well-being and to demonstrate it through adaptive and positive behaviour when interacting with others, their culture and their environment". (WHO, 1994)

Today we view Psychosocial Competencies as essential capacities for effectively managing the challenges of everyday life, improving mental wellbeing and strengthening relationships. They include cognitive, emotional and social competencies, recommended by the WHO for holistic health.

The 3 Categories of PSC:

Cognitive

Include Self-awareness, Self-control, and Constructive Decision-Making.

Emotional

Include the Understanding and Management of emotions, and Stress regulation.

Social

Encompass Constructive communication, the Development of social connections, and Conflict resolution.

Why develop PSC? PSC enable better self-knowledge, more effective management of emotions, and healthier social interactions.

They are essential for personal, academic and professional success.

These are skills to develop throughout life: take care of your mind just as you do your body.
