On 02.10.2026 and 08.10.2026, Abdrasilova V.O. (groups M26-017k and M26-018k) and Almabayeva N.M. (groups M26-015k and M26-016k), lecturers of the Department of Normal physiology with a biophysics course, held mentoring sessions with the students of their assigned groups on the topic “October 10 – World Mental Health Day”.
The students prepared presentations on the topic and held a discussion about the importance of maintaining mental health.
Following a lively discussion, the students reached the following conclusions:
- To understand that speaking openly about psychological difficulties and stress is not a sign of “weakness,” but rather a sign of awareness and a responsible attitude toward one’s health.
- To explore practical ways to manage pre-examination anxiety, prevent emotional burnout, and cope with stress.
- To learn to recognize the emotional state of their peers and offer support during difficult times by letting them know, “I am here for you; you are not alone.”
The discussion on this topic clearly demonstrated to students that creating a safe and supportive environment within the university begins with every lecturer and every student.
