During the trainings, I realized that if you can stabilize your own state, you can help others. I use this knowledge and skills in my life and help people stabilize their psychological state. The exercises are simple, but the help is enormous.

The trainings themselves have become a circle of support for me on cold winter days without light. I am sincerely grateful to the trainer and all the participants for the warmth and light of the soul. I use the knowledge gained at the trainings in my work.

The materials received help to identify signs of stress or psychological trauma in different age groups of students in time, provide first aid, and identify the need to consult a specialist.

The work at the trainings was meaningful, intense and dynamic. My psychological experience has been replenished with relevant knowledge and skills that I use in my work today during interactive classes, correctional work, and counseling of students.
