WORKING WITH MOOD IN THE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT: PRACTICES FOR FORMING RESILIENCE AND HARMONY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the impact of mental health on participants in the educational process. The author emphasizes the importance of psychological well-being of both students and teachers. The mental health of schoolchildren directly affects their attitude to learning. It shapes their mood, well-being, level of optimism and ability to adapt to challenges, in particular to war conditions. Students with a good psychological state demonstrate better performance and engagement. At the same time, the mental health of teachers affects their productivity and motivation. The quality of preparation for lessons, interpersonal relationships in the team and interaction with parents depend on it. The balanced psycho-emotional state of teachers sets the tone for the entire educational process. The author emphasizes that maintaining one’s own mental and physical health is a key professional task of a teacher. This is important not only for personal well-being, but also for the effective education of students. The article also emphasizes that modern conditions require teachers to be flexible, resilient, and adopt new approaches to learning. The mental health of a teacher directly affects the creation of a safe and supportive educational environment. Successful learning and education are possible only under the conditions of psychological stability of all participants in the educational process. The author draws parallels between high-quality education and the future of the state. Preparing young people today is an investment in the restoration of Ukraine after the war. In the future, it is possible to create a national program to support mental health in the educational environment. Such an initiative will become the basis for the sustainable development of the educational space in the context of war and post-war challenges.
