ASU Students Support a Regional Project on Healthy Lifestyle

On June 26–28, activists of the volunteering squad “On the Wings of Good” of the Faculty of Psychology of Astrakhan State University took part in a health challenge, organized by the regional Youth Agency.

The health formula «sound mind in a sound body» is still quite relevant. ASU students who study psychological sciences know that firsthand. They actively promote healthy lifestyle, attract fellow-thinkers to preserve and strengthen physical and mental health. Special attention is paid to child health.

Within the framework of the challenge, which was a part of the interregional project "Healthy Region — Healthy Russia", the volunteering psychologists carried out information and educational activities, explaining the importance of early detection of health problems in children for rendering timely and efficient help. Working together with specialists of the scientific & practice centre for children’s rehabilitation "Correction & Development", the activists handed out booklets "Care for Generation Health Starts from the Very Birth" in the Astrakhan Kremlin, city’s parks and at children’s playgrounds.

The campaign participants received gratitude from Egor Ugarov, the Acting Head of the Youth Agency of Astrakhan region. He noted that the students’ contribution to a public-interest service makes the region healthier and a bit happier.
