Beşiktaş launches new anti-stress campaign

Beşiktaş Municipality launched an 'Anti-Stress Campaign' during the transition to the 'New Normal' period within the context of the fight against Covid-19. Within the scope of the movement that started with the slogan 'Beşiktaş Will Heal Together', many events such as meeting with psychologists, music concerts, yoga sessions, and sports events are going to take place between 3 - 26 July, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Life begins to return to normal with the gradual elimination of the restrictions in the fight against the Covid-19 outbreak. With the beginning of the 'New Normal' period, Beşiktaş Mayor Rıza Akpolat launched an “Anti-Stress Campaign”  by considering the mental and physical health of Beşiktaş residents. 

Announcing the Anti Stress Movement through social media sharing, Akpolat; “We are now at a new stage in the epidemic process; we are de-stressing and healing together. After 3 months at home, we scheduled a special program de-stressing and uplifting includes many events from music to sports, trips to yoga sessions while minding the social distance.  We look forward to welcoming our neighbors to our  entertaining activities.”

After staying at home for a long time, starting from Friday, July 3rd, residents of Beşiktaş will be able to participate in psychologist conversations, music concerts, stress-relieving yoga sessions, and sports activities in the local parks of Beşiktaş during this gradual transition to the normalization process. 

Psychologists Will Meet with Beşiktaş Residents in the Local Parks

Activities are going to take place where psychologists share information about certain thematic topics and answer the questions of the audience. Those who want to meet with the psychologists one-to-one can get an appointment for online or face-to-face interviews. Clinical psychologists are going to try to minimize the negative effects of the epidemic process with these meetings.

While minding the social distance, the participants will bring their mats, cushions, and towels according to the hygiene measures. 

The program schedule and event details can be accessed from the official website of Beşiktaş Municipality, besiktas.bel.tr.
