Under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Mansour Hassan, President of University, Beni Suef University will launch initiative "Never Give up ... Your Life is Important to us" to provide psychological and social support and reduce suicide. This is in light of the societal role of university in containing young people, supporting them and contributing to building their personalities.
The initiative aims to provide psychological and social support to students and confront negative thoughts such as sadness, isolation, frustration, depression and suicide by providing psychological first aid and immediate support.
The University President stated that in cooperation with the Department of Psychiatry at the Faculty of Medicine, a long-term initiative is launched, aiming to raise awareness of the manifestations of psychological pressures, their causes, complications and the effects of stresses that may lead to mental, behavioral and physical disorders. It also aims to explain ways to confront and deal with psychological pressures, methods of prevention and psychological treatment of these pressures, or the resulting diseases or serious psychological disorders that threaten the life of the individual and society.
The President of the University pointed out that the most important mechanisms for implementing the initiative include providing a psychological counseling unit within each college in an atmosphere of safety, confidentiality and trust, and an electronic health unit through a special page for communication. In addition to a series of awareness seminars at all colleges of the university, university cities, and a number of courses for students with the participation of relevant civil society organizations for training on strategies of psychological resilience and facing psychological stress, and methods of adaptation.
