If you are a student struggling with mental health challenges, we offer strength training as part of Sammen's health services. "Physical Activity for Mental Health and Well-being" is a collaboration between Sammen Psykisk Helse and Sammen Trening.
Most people are aware that physical activity is good for our physical health. However, did you know that regular physical activity also has a positive effect on our mental health? This offering is for those who want to start strength training as a measure to better manage the demands of student life. The course is designed for beginners, and you don't need any prior experience with training. Here, you will experience accomplishment in a safe group setting alongside other students.
