A practical training session titled “Prevention of Professional Burnout and Strengthening Psychological Well-being” was held at Abai University. The event aimed to support the psychological health of teaching staff and prevent emotional overload. The training brought together faculty members and university employees, who engaged in various practical tasks designed to enhance emotional resilience in the professional environment.

The session was conducted by Samal Suleimen, Senior Lecturer of the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology, Master of Pedagogical Sciences. She introduced participants to the key signs and causes of burnout syndrome and explained methods for preserving and restoring emotional resources. Practical techniques for stress management, developing psychological resilience, and maintaining emotional balance were also presented.

Interactive exercises and team-based activities sparked strong engagement and interest among participants. In the first part, a video about greeting cultures around the world was shown, followed by a discussion on intercultural communication. A memory and attention development game was then organized, during which teamwork skills were analyzed.

The “Mood Boost” exercise provided participants with positive emotional energy, while the “Difficult Situation – Shared Solution” stage focused on discussing effective ways to collaboratively resolve life and work-related challenges. Group practical tasks helped build trust among participants, encouraged creativity, and strengthened team spirit.

As part of the training, participants exchanged opinions via the Slido platform, sharing their ideas and suggestions. Each activity addressed ways to overcome stress factors, strengthen emotional resilience, effectively utilize personal resources, and create a supportive psychological environment.

Participants emphasized the relevance of the training and noted that they had gained practical skills applicable to their daily work. According to them, such initiatives contribute to team cohesion, increased productivity, and the preservation of emotional well-being.

Abai University will continue to systematically implement initiatives aimed at ensuring the mental well-being of all participants in the educational process and fostering a supportive internal environment.
