Guest Speaker

Waves of Positivity: Navigating Towards Happiness and Success at Work

Challenges regarding mental health and well-being are an ever-growing global concern, particularly within the scientific environment. As such, this year the BTC welcomes CIIMAR’s associated psychologist as a guest speaker, to discuss the preservation of mental wellness with the community.

Rita Torre is a psychologist with 20 years of experience in different contexts, from clinical to organizational. For more than 10 years, she has supported master’s, doctoral and postdoctoral students to deal with their emotional challenges.

Thus, this talk will be dedicated to the maintenance of mental wellness in the workplace and its challenges: whether psychological (social skills, resilience, openness to experience, assertiveness); emotional (stress management and emotional reactivity); and related to the management of executive functions (time management, planning, goal setting, etc.).
