Abstract
The article presents the results of the theoretical analysis of scientific sources, empirical research data and the results of practical work with pedagogical workers affected by military events. It has been established that the problem of providing psychological assistance to pedagogical workers in wartime has signs of mass character. The purpose of the article is to identify the specifics of providing psychological assistance to pedagogical workers in wartime. The methods of the study include theoretical analysis of scientific sources, systematization, classification and generalization of the information obtained. It has been found that under martial law, school-age children and the pedagogical staff who interact with them are under the influence of constant stress, suffer physical and mental trauma. The components of the profession of a modern pedagogical worker are singled out and illustrated: psychophysiological, individual and qualification. It is proved that in organizing psychological assistance to pedagogical workers in martial law conditions, one should rely on their qualification component, which includes the result of the formation of the necessary psychological knowledge, skills and abilities, the dynamics of development of professionally important qualities, the specifics and features of the experience of implementing psychological assistance and support. The article summarizes the groups of resources that each pedagogical worker can access free of charge in martial law to receive psychological assistance and support. It is recommended to organize and conduct trainings on activating personal resources.
Currently, one of the important areas of work of the psychological service of educational institutions should be improved - educational activities, which should be aimed at increasing the competence of participants in the educational process (primarily teachers) in the context of providing first psychological aid and mastering modern techniques for its provision, psychological support for children, restoring their mental health, and providing knowledge to create a psychologically safe environment in an educational institution.
