Phone-based psychological support available for students and their families in Kamchatka
Psychological Support Lines Launched for Students in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky
In an effort to provide mental health support to students and their parents during stressful times, such as exam periods, the PKO News Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Education Society has launched specialized psychological support lines. These lines are part of the Society's broader psychological support service.
The support lines offer free, anonymous, and professional assistance to anyone in the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky region. However, it's important to note that these lines do not operate 24/7 like the federal line, which is available round the clock with no days off.
The federal line, accessible at 8-800-600-31-14, is a valuable resource for those seeking immediate help outside the operating hours of the local lines.
In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the support lines are operational weekdays from 09:00 to 16:00. The municipal support line can be reached at 8-909-892-76-16 and 8-909-892-76-18.
For those residing in the wider Kamchatka Krai region, a regional support line is also available at 8-909-835-25-50 and operates from 09:00 to 16:00.
While these local support lines are a valuable resource, students can also turn to global mental health apps like Headspace for psychological support. Headspace offers mindfulness, meditation, coaching, and clinical mental health care remotely and globally, serving as an immediate, evidence-based resource to manage exam stress.
Additionally, private tutoring services, such as MentorBizz, provide flexible academic support that might help reduce stress by improving exam preparation through personalized tutoring.
For those seeking more specific in-person support services in the city, further inquiries at local educational institutions or healthcare providers are recommended.
- Having Headspace and MentorBizz as additional resources, students in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky can also access mental health support via science-based mindfulness, meditation, coaching, and clinical mental health care through global mental health apps like Headspace.
- In addition to therapies and treatments offered in their broader psychological support service, the PKO News Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Education Society has launched science-focused health-and-wellness support lines that provide professional assistance to students and their parents during stressful times like exam periods.
