Support for emotional wellbeing now accessible for graduate students and their families
In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, two new municipal support lines have been established to help individuals experiencing stress during exams. These lines are available for school graduates and their close ones, and can be reached at 7 909 892-76-16 and 7 909 892-76-18.
The operating hours for these municipal support lines are weekdays, from 09:00 to 16:00. It is important to note that while these lines are intended for individuals seeking help during the exam period, the specific focus on school graduates and their parents is unique to these lines, unlike the previously mentioned federal and regional hotlines.
For those needing support outside of these hours, the federal hotline (8-800-600-31-14) and regional hotline (7 909 835-25-50) are still available. The regional hotline operates during the same hours as the municipal lines, from 09:00 to 16:00.
The service provided by these hotlines is free and anonymous, offering a safe space for individuals to seek help during a challenging time. It is crucial to remember that these lines are separate from the federal and regional hotlines mentioned earlier.
Beyond hotlines, several additional services and resources for psychological support are available. For instance, Tufts University offers confidential counseling sessions through programs like the Talk One2One Student Assistance Program, providing "in the moment" phone support 24/7 by licensed counselors.
Universities often collaborate with mental health services to provide counseling appointments, both in-person and virtual, and expand access to clinical care through services like Mantra Care. Schools also offer school-based and community mental health support, with professionals like high school guidance counselors and tutors available to help identify students in distress and connect them to appropriate mental health resources.
Organizations also provide education and resource materials, one-sheet informational resources, and checklists to better understand mental health, signs of distress, and how to access support. Local and university-wide resources, such as Santa Barbara Unified's mental health resource pages, can help students find information, tools, and contact options for support.
Finally, some universities have established services where students can call at any time to speak with trained professionals confidentially and free of charge. These services aim to address a broad range of mental health needs for students and parents, complementing crisis hotlines and providing longer-term support, counseling, education, and connections to community mental health providers.
In emergency situations, it is still crucial to direct calls to emergency services or campus security as appropriate. For those in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky seeking psychological support during exams, the new municipal support lines at 7 909 892-76-16 and 7 909 892-76-18 are now available.
The new municipal support lines in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, intended for individuals seeking help during the exam period, not only focus on general stress but also cater to the mental health of school graduates and their parents. In addition to these lines, universities often collaborate with mental health services to offer varied support, such as round-the-clock phone counseling, school-based mental health resources, and long-term counseling services, aimed at addressing a broad range of mental health needs for students and parents.
