Series of Events on Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Preservation Among Students

In March and April, our university hosted a series of meetings, lectures, and group consultations conducted by the psychologist of the Psychological Counseling Center, Venera Alashybaikyzy Eleu. The main focus of these events was suicide prevention — one of the most pressing issues among youth today.

During the meetings, topics such as maintaining psychological well-being, the impact of mental health on quality of life, life values, and the underlying causes of suicidal behavior were discussed. Practical guidelines were provided on how to support oneself or a loved one facing psychological difficulties. Group consultations were also held, where students' questions were answered.

Approximately 700 first- and second-year students from all higher education schools participated in the events.
