Move forward and find the right solution to a problem, then don‘t ignore these negative emotions and the discomfort they cause. Don‘t live with the thought that it will all eventually go away. That is wasting your life‘s force and energy that you could put to use fulfilling your desires and ideas.

But what to do if you feel you‘ve lost your motivation? How best to take care of your needs and rediscover the joy of life, to get back in touch and meet your needs allowing you to live without stress? One of the solutions is to take responsibility for your quality of life using the help of professional psychologists and help yourself.

Emotional support guide for students studying abroad

Studying abroad opens up new opportunities, but it can also bring stress, anxiety, or feelings of loneliness. That is why we have prepared a short guide to help students adjust more easily to a new environment, better understand their emotions, and take care of their emotional well-being while living abroad.

How to take care of your mental health during times of war

With the war in Ukraine causing fear, uncertainty, and anxiety for many people, we invite you to read these recommendations on how to take care of your psychological well-being during difficult times. The recommendations were prepared by the Center for Psychotraumatology at Vilnius University together with the Lithuanian Society for Trauma Psychology.

THE WORRY

The worry tree helps us deal with Type 1 worries which are the worrying thoughts that seem to happen all the time.

Type 1 worries can be separated into two further categories:
-Hypothetical situations
-Current problems

Hypothetical situations are those “what if…?” thoughts about some terrible event that might happen. “My girlfriend said she would be back from the party hours ago – is she cheating on me?”
These kind of worries then, cause us a lot of anxiety, when there is perhaps little or nothing we can do about that situation, and we are over-estimating the odds of these things happening.

Current problems are those worries that relate to a real situation, that we can do something about. In which case, we can decide what to do, when and how – which will be much more helpful than just continually worrying about it.

THE ANXIETY

The anxiety is something that we all experience from time to time. The experience of anxiety is our body’s way of preparing us to manage those difficult situations.

A great opportunity for those interested in psychology, education, and community well-being. By volunteering, you will help raise mental health awareness within the university community, gain practical experience (event organization, content creation, workshop facilitation), and volunteer with a flexible schedule.

Important: Even if you volunteer for just a few hours a week, we will expect you to be responsible. It will take time to familiarize yourself with the procedures and build trust, so please apply only if you are able to volunteer for at least six months (preferably a year), attend meetings, and communicate reliably.

By volunteering at the Community Well-being Center, you can also earn a digital badge.
