On March 12, 2025, students, graduates of the Horlivka Institute of Foreign Languages, and teachers of Ukrainian secondary schools again had the opportunity to meet in the friendly circle of the "Art Therapy Workshop", which operates within the framework of the "Warm Wednesday" project from the Department of Psychology and the Center for Psychological Support of the GIIM. The meeting, dedicated to the topical issue of emotional stabilization and self-help in stressful situations, was conducted by Associate Professor of the Department of Psychology of the GIIM N.G. Kosheleva.

Participants had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the emotional stabilization protocol "Four Elements", tried to perform techniques for regulating breathing, relaxing muscles, "grounding" through the body, monitored their feelings and states after their implementation. Also, those present at the meeting got acquainted with the technique "Place of Peace", which is used to regain control over attention and imagination, and had the opportunity to perform it in an art therapy format, which aroused interest, positive emotions and a state of calm. Participants received practical skills in applying techniques that can be used for self-regulation, that is, managing their psycho-emotional state in stressful situations.

The work of the "Art Therapy Workshop" continues, we invite everyone to join the interesting, rich and useful meetings that take place every Wednesday at 6:00 PM. We will be glad to see everyone!
