Throughout life we go through developmental phases (physiological, mental, social) that bring new challenges, which also constitute “windows of opportunity” to evolve and transform issues that had been poorly resolved at previous moments in life.
Mensana is organising a series of “Talks”, presented by clinical psychologists and psychoanalysts, to reflect on the various psychological challenges that human development presents throughout the life cycle. It will be a space for reflection, discussion and sharing, in Portuguese or English.
The talks will take place one Saturday a month, from 10am to 1pm, between November 2026 and June 2027, at Mensana – Mental Health Clinic.
