Academic community touched by war – how to get help and support?
Katri Ruth, Study Psychologist at the University of Eastern Finland, shares advices how we can foster compassion in our community and alleviate tensions, both of the body and of the mind, during the war events in Ukraine.
“Fostering compassionate interaction as part of our work and study culture is particularly important right now. Communicating encouragement and caring will alleviate tensions, both of the body and of the mind. We can foster compassion in our community by doing these simple things: We ask one another about how we are doing and feeling. We can take a moment to listen to one another. We can ask how we can help with small things. We can speak nicely and with compassion to ourselves. We should also remember our need to recover and be present for the people close to us”, Katri Ruth writes.
For all students who feel worried about the events in Ukraine, this is a useful blog post that you should read: https://blogs.uef.fi/puheenvuoroja/2022/03/02/academic-community-touched-by-war/.
