To offer emotional support for women, the Austrian Union Women’s Ministries have started a series of presentations under the title Thinking Well - Living Well. The first part of the mental health presentations covered the factors that influence mental health and how to deal with them. Mental health can be promoted by a variety of small individual measures in the areas of the NEWSTART-Plus elements. Susanne Fesl led through this topic with theoretical background information, breathing exercises, relaxing music, and helpful suggestions from nutrition and aromatherapy. The first afternoon meeting took place on June 24, 2023, in the Romanian congregation in the 14th district of Vienna. Around 20 women of all ages participated. More units are being planned - the next topic will be Thinking Well - Living Well in Times of Crisis on November 11, 2023, geared to health and social professionals, and young people.
