TNMU Students Discussed the Importance of Mental Health with Schoolchildren

On March 2, the world community celebrates World Teen Mental Wellness Day. This event was launched in 2020 at the initiative of an American youth clothing brand.

On the occasion of this day, on March 4, 2024, the third-year students of TNMU Faculty of Medicine Nadia Stratiuk (MM-316), Solomia Faka (MM-316) and Valeria Kuzmych (MM-316) prepared presentation on the topic “Mental health” for the eleventh-grade students of Ternopil Secondary School No. 24.

The main goal of the event was to draw the attention of teenagers to the importance of taking care of mental health, what factors affect it, signs of problems with psycho-emotional health, and the most common mental health disorders.

During the lecture, the students had the opportunity to ask questions that interested them, and at the end of the lecture, they made their own conclusions about their own health.

The information was provided by Nadia Stratiuk.
