Mental Health Masterclass for Students with a Psychologist
Every year on April 23, Ukraine celebrates National Psychologist’s Day. This professional holiday is intended to draw public attention to the important role psychologists play in society. Supporting mental health is a key component of personal well-being, especially during periods of change, when adapting to new challenges requires professional assistance. Psychologist’s Day reminds the public of the importance of psychological support and highlights specialists who help people maintain emotional balance.
To highlight the significance of the psychology profession this year, on April 7, students of the Danube Branch of IAPM discussed the value of mental health with psychologist and art-therapy specialist Lilia Apostolaki during a meeting in the psychology room.
During the meeting, Lilia Apostolaki spoke about the importance of the psychologist’s profession and its role in human life. Students learned how diverse and essential psychological work is for supporting individuals in the modern world. In addition to the meaningful conversation, the psychologist conducted an interactive masterclass using metaphorical cards and creative coffee painting techniques. This unusual format allowed young people to experience psychological methods in practice: through metaphorical images and coffee art therapy, participants gained a better understanding of their own emotions and feelings. Students actively took part in the activity, asked questions, and shared their impressions, gaining valuable experience and positive emotions.
