When the mind never rests: Understanding and fairly distributing Mental Load
Constantly thinking of everything, being there for everyone, and still hardly finding time to breathe: The online lecture "Head Full, Batteries Empty? How We Can Reduce Mental Load and Share Care Work Fairly" addresses a daily topic that many people struggle with. On October 19, 2026, the Working Group on Women & Health of the Erlangen-Höchstadt District Office invites you to a digital event experience via Webex.
Making invisible tasks visible
Mental Load describes the invisible mental burden that arises when a person has to constantly think about appointments, shopping, family organization, professional obligations, and the needs of others. Particularly in private and professional life, this cognitive work often goes unnoticed, although it consumes considerable energy.
Impulses for more relief
The focus is on ways to make care work more visible and to distribute tasks more equitably. The lecture addresses everyday organization in family and partnership and shows how responsibilities can be discussed more clearly. Breaks, free spaces, and one's own mental health are also part of sustainable relief.
Digital, relatable, and for interested parties
The online format via Webex allows participation regardless of location. The event planning is organized by the Working Group on Women & Health in cooperation with the Health Department of the Erlangen-Höchstadt District Office. The target audience is all those who want to better understand their mental load and take inspiration for a fair distribution of care work.
Conclusion
The lecture combines understandable information with practical food for thought for a daily life where responsibility is no longer invisible. Those who seek more clarity, relief, and fair collaboration will experience here a compact digital impulse for sustainable change.
