Successful “First Psychological Aid” Training Series in 2023

The Lifelong Learning Centre proudly shares about the successful cooperation with MedAir in Ukraine. Within the project, the training series titled “First Psychological Aid” was held in 2023. One of them took place on December 9, 2023. Conducted at the Sumy State University Congress Center, the 6-hour session (plus technical breaks) was led by Victoria Rateyeva, a well-known psychologist, psychotherapist, and Head of the Psychological Service at Sumy State Pedagogical University. Participants, including professionals and enthusiasts, were equipped with essential skills for providing first psychological aid, preventing emotional burnout, and managing chronic stress.

The training focused on emotional tension relief, self-awareness, self-development, psychological self-regulation techniques, and combating emotional burnout. Participants also learned to refine personal qualities and stabilize internal harmony. Certificates were awarded upon completion, contributing to professional development and qualification enhancement.

This series marks a significant step in promoting psychological health and resilience in our community. More about the total number of activities and participants who took part in this project will be announced by the end of February 2024, when the project is planned to be accomplished.
