The Institute of Education of the University of Lisbon (IE-ULisboa) marked Yellow September, a month dedicated to suicide prevention, with a series of initiatives aimed at promoting the mental health and well-being of its academic community.

Under the slogan "Why is life worth living?", IE-ULisboa organized welcome sessions for new students, where crucial topics such as the promotion of mental health and well-being were addressed. These sessions aim to create an environment of support and awareness, encouraging students to seek help and take care of their psychological health.
The initiative is part of a broader effort by the university to combat the stigma associated with mental illnesses and to ensure that students feel supported throughout their academic journey. The date of September 29, 2026 marks the culmination of these awareness activities.
IE-ULisboa also highlighted other relevant news and events for academic life, including the opening of applications for merit scholarships, information on enrollments, and new editions of academic programs. The university thus reinforces its commitment to the integral development of its students, not only academically but also personally and emotionally.
