Bohdan Khmelnytsky National University of Cherkasy actively works in the field of nurturing the mental health of participants in the educational process.
On August 27, 2024, a lecture-workshop “On stress resistance and search behaviour” was held at the Educational-Scientific Centre for Mental Health of BKNUC.
The participants of the event learnt about the concept of search activity, examined studies on the conditions for the formation of learnt helplessness, and how to immunize themselves against it. In the practical part, the attendees were introduced to the techniques of anchoring and decoupling, which is crucial during the periods of turbulence and uncertainty.
The event was attended by Viktoriia Shepil, the regional coordinator of the All-Ukrainian mental health program “How are you?”. Ms. Viktoriia spoke about the system of services within the All-Ukrainian mental health program “How are you?”.
– The main goal of the activity of the Educational-Scientific Centre for Mental Health is to popularize reliable information related to the cultivation of stress resistance. Simplicity, accessibility, and openness are the core principles of the Centre's work. The lecture was prepared in the context of the idea of developing something interesting and useful for people. It is aimed at helping the listener to gradually but methodically form their own quick psychological first aid kit, so that during times of uncertainty, they can break free from oppressive thoughts, tension or apathy, and shift their attention to proactive behaviour, – the director of the Educational-Scientific Centre for Mental Health Yulia Sidenko noted.
The Centre plans to continue organizing similar events. Follow the news!
