Promoting psychological growth and mental health awareness among students

As part of our ongoing mission to promote psychological growth and mental health awareness among students, Betapsi is once again organising DGP0803 - Therapy and Wellness Campaign for the fifth year in a row.

DGP0803 - The Therapy and Wellness Campaign is designed to introduce students to a variety of therapeutic approaches and wellness practices through engaging, educational sessions led by licensed and qualified professionals. The campaign consists of 11 workshops in semester 1, starting on 4 November 2026, occurring on Wednesdays and Fridays, from 12:00 to 14:00.

The workshops include Gestalt Psychotherapy, Counselling, Sex Therapy, Health Psychology, Sports Therapy, Eco Therapy, Mindfulness, Movement Therapy, Journalling Therapy, Animal Therapy (yes, there will be cute dogs), and Therapy in Private Practice. This will give students invaluable experience and exposure to multiple forms of therapy and wellness practices.

Attendance will provide you with a certificate of participation, and the study unit is also recognised by Degree+ which will be registered on your final University transcript, improving your future career prospects.

Betapsi’s Therapy and Wellness Campaign can also be a useful resource for students who are curious to expand their own self-awareness and coping skills as it exposes individuals to different types of therapies one can attend, thus raising more awareness.

If interested, make sure to apply by sending an email with your interest in applying for DGP0803 - The Therapy and Wellness Campaign via email. 

If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact Betapsi's Educational Officer. 

1. What will the workshops include and how will they be structured?

DGP0803 - Therapy and Wellness Campaign consists of 11 workshops in semester 1, starting on 4 November, occurring on Wednesdays and Fridays, from 12:00 noon to 14:00. Workshops are carried out by the respective professionals and their expertise, which include discussions, demonstrations, interactive material, presentations, and more, depending on what the professional has to offer. The workshops include Gestalt therapy, Sex therapy, Counselling, Eco Therapy, Dance Therapy, Sports Therapy, Health Psychology, and so much more! This will give you invaluable experience and exposure to multiple forms of therapy and wellness practices.

2. Will the workshops be held at the University of Malta? 

Yes, however, one of the sessions (Eco Therapy) will be held at Wied Għollieqa Nature Reserve, which is a 10-minute walk from campus. That is the only session outside of university grounds.

3. Will the workshops be mainly theoretical, practical, or a mixture of both?

Both. We asked the professionals to make the workshops as interactive as possible, but the final choice on how they deliver the session is theirs.

4. Will the workshops be held in person, online, or in a hybrid format?

Sessions will be held in person.

5. Is there any cost involved for attending?

The fee is EUR 10 for students which has to be settled with Degree+. If interested, make sure to apply by sending an email with your interest in applying for DGP0803 - Therapy and Wellness Campaign.

6. Are the workshops recognised? How will this serve me in the future?

Attending will give you a certificate of attendance. The study unit is also recognised by Degree+ and it will be registered on your final University transcript, which will improve your future career prospects.
