The ARK programme – bottom up organizational health interventions for improving well-being, health and productivity in the academic sector in Norway

The aim of this presentation is, by showing the results and experiences from the ARK-programme (Innstrand & Christensen, 2020), to suggest new and holistic approaches to tackle some of the challenges in the academic sector regarding mental health. The value of this presentation is to show promising experiences and results (Christensen et al., 2018) from a large-scale intervention programme for mental health in the workplace with a bottom-up profile. The programme includes a large databank of quantitative data and a unique opportunity to follow processes at over 20 universities and university colleges (using ARK for qualitative data collection and process evaluation.)This document is part of the Book of Abstracts of the ReMO 2022 Conference that was organized within the framework of COST Action CA19117 - "Researcher Mental Health"
