A Mental Health Promotion Event

7.5.2024

An event was held to support mental health, in which representatives of the structural subdivisions of LTSNU from Myrhorod took part.

In recent years, conversations about mental health have become extremely relevant, especially among young people. In order to support this initiative and raise awareness of the importance of mental well-being, students and teachers of the Myrhorod structural subdivisions of LTSNU took part in a preventive event organized by the Myrhorod Children’s and Youth Library.
At the stations of the interactive and educational exhibition “Mental Trek”, participants received information and practical skills about mental health.

The trip through the exhibition allowed to immerse oneself in issues related to the topic of mental well-being, to walk through the ways of helping oneself and another person in psycho-traumatic situations, as well as to develop critical thinking skills. Young people actively communicated and exchanged knowledge and opinions on a wide range of issues on this topic, assessed the risks of relevant life situations. Thanks to discussions in teams, the participants developed the ability to think complexly and critically. Learners learned to relate their personal behavioral risks to possible consequences and developed their strategies for maintaining their own mental well-being.

The purpose of this event was not only to increase the level of awareness of student youth in the field of mental health, but also to popularize the means of prevention of mental ill health, to raise the threshold of tolerance for people suffering from mental and behavioral disorders.

At the end of the event, the head of the library invited the students to get acquainted with interesting book novelties on psychology, which highlight modern trends in this field.

We thank the library staff for this event, because it is a great opportunity to expand our knowledge of psychology!
