Good health and well-being are among the Sustainable Development Goals adopted at the UN Summit in 2015 and remain a key focus for UN member states.
Due to Russia’s full-scale invasion, by 2025, 15.7 million people in Ukraine will require psychological assistance. Among them, 3.5 million will suffer from certain mental disorders, 8.5 million will be at risk of developing depression and PTSD due to the war, and 10 million will experience anxiety and stress. By 2025, every second Ukrainian may face mental health challenges.
Youth represents a vulnerable segment of society, particularly sensitive to developing psychological problems under prolonged stress and trauma.
This was the focus of the student scientific group meeting at the department, which was dedicated to discussing the psychological state of students during the war. The meeting featured the following presentations:
- “Emotional Burnout During the War: Recognition, Stages, and Coping Strategies”by Ihor Starostenko, MC.m-215.
- “Mental Health of Youth During Wartime”by Iryna Stepanova, MC.m-312-4.

Despite all the challenges, the achievements of our students demonstrate the strength of the human spirit and the drive for positive change.
If you feel overwhelmed and cannot cope on your own, do not hesitate to seek help from a professional. Asking for help is normal.
