Psychology graduate students learned about healing techniques

As part of the weeks of full-time study at the Faculty of Psychology, History and Sociology of Kherson State University, psychology students attended a series of trainings "Psycho-emotional support during war: teaching healing techniques" from the head of the socio-psychological service of KhSU, Darya Domanchuk.

"Kherson State University has a project called "Psycho-emotional support during war: training in healing techniques," which has already been completed by teachers. Now such trainings have become mandatory for students. We are also developing a volunteer school where students will learn these techniques and apply them in everyday life," noted Darya Domanchuk.

This knowledge is especially useful for those who are in conditions of constant danger. For example, students and employees who remain in Kherson or other settlements in Ukraine that are under attack by the Russians. Participants learn to control their emotions during explosions or threatening situations. After completing the training, 80% of participants noted that their sleep and emotional state had significantly improved.

Currently, the social and psychological service is working to involve more students and teachers in psycho-emotional support programs. In war conditions, knowledge about mental health becomes no less important than academic education.
