Peculiarities of mental health preservation of student youth as a factor of their professional growth

Abstract

One of the essential indicators of person’s mental health is the ability to fully perform basic social functions, participate in social activities and engage in socially useful work. It is well known that for students of higher educational institutions, studying and mastering their future profession is the leading type of activity. The quality of this process is directly related to mental health of young people and the creation of a psychologically safe educational environment. Efforts in this direction should be based on humanistically oriented technologies and norms of personal development of student youth.
