A comprehensive psychological relief event initiated by the Psychological Support Department took place at the Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs.
Representatives of the university’s structural divisions, together with experts from the NGO “10 Kviten,” joined the activity aimed at restoring internal resources and stabilizing the mental state of employees.
The central element of the meeting was a workshop on artistic painting of eco-bags (shoppers), where each participant had the opportunity to transform creative energy into an authentic visual image. The process of creating an individual design became an effective tool of art-therapeutic influence, contributing to dissociation from stress factors, reduction of emotional tension, and accumulation of vital energy. Through artistic self-expression, participants not only revealed their creative potential but also achieved a state of psychological balance, which is critically important for maintaining professional productivity..
The importance of the systematic implementation of such methods was emphasized by the Head of the Psychological Support Department of DDUVS, Serhii Vyshnevskyi: “The introduction of art therapy practices into the daily activities of our team is not just creative leisure, but a strategic step toward strengthening the mental resilience of personnel. During periods of high workload, it is through art that we help specialists transform fatigue into an internal resource, ensuring psychological stability and readiness for today’s challenges.”
The final stage of the event was the presentation of the participants’ original works, which will now serve as a symbolic reminder of the experience of self-reflection they gained. Specialists note that such initiatives have a cumulative effect: they not only improve the overall psycho-emotional well-being of each employee, but also build strong team spirit, stimulate unconventional thinking, and strengthen the overall stress resistance of the university community.
