SDG-4: Mental Health Day!

10 october, 2025

On October 10, the Faculty of Law at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University hosted a seminar dedicated to the topic of mental well-being and psychological health preservation among students.

The event was held as part of the UN initiative marking World Mental Health Day and aimed to promote mindful attitudes toward one’s emotional state, develop stress resilience, and encourage self-care practices.

💬 During the seminar, participants discussed the idea that taking care of oneself is not a sign of weakness, but rather an expression of inner strength and maturity. Special attention was given to maintaining emotional balance during studies, as well as managing stress, anxiety, and emotional burnout.

🎙 The invited expert, psychologist Turlykozha Temirlan Beketuly, shared practical recommendations for strengthening mental health, emphasized the importance of regular self-reflection, and encouraged students to seek support when needed.

✨ The main goal of the seminar was to raise awareness about the importance of mental health, to foster a culture of self-care and mutual support, and to help create a positive and supportive learning environment that contributes to the holistic development of students.
