91桃色

On 3鈥�7 March, 91桃色 (VU) is holding its first emotional well-being week 鈥淟et鈥檚 Talk About It鈥� which is dedicated to open and professional discussion on the emotional challenges, health, and well-being of students. The aim of the week鈥檚 events is to raise mental health awareness as well as to foster a supportive community where everybody feels heard. The main focus will be put on the students 鈥� the stress they are under, the challenges they face in relationships, and the ways of improving their emotional health. The vision is for this emotional well-being week to become a tradition in the largest university in Lithuania.

鈥淎s an academic community, we place great emphasis on learning, growing, and improving; however, often forgetting the importance of taking care of our mental health and emotional resilience. That is why the emotional well-being week 鈥淟et鈥檚 Talk About It鈥� is designed to facilitate understanding oneself and the relationship with oneself, others, and the environment,鈥� says Sandra 膶etrauskien臈, head of the Community Well-Being Division.

VU psychologists and specialists invite students to participate in various activities to learn more about supporting friends facing psychological challenges, creating a healthy relationship with oneself, recognising and managing academic stress, and international students are invited to share their experience with cultural differences. Another planned activity is art therapy, designed to deepen self-awareness through creative expression. The week will culminate in a discussion on sensitive topics of loneliness and seeking authenticity.

VU community comprises more than 24 thousand students whose growth as healthy and emotionally strong persons is as important as them gaining knowledge. Emotional health is not a strictly individual matter, it also involves building meaningful relationships, maintaining psychological resilience, and navigating academic and personal challenges.
