What's happening in PresUniv
Friday (30/7), President University (PresUniv) held a Youth Seminar with the theme of Mental Health. This online seminar presented Monic Christian, CEO of the Tes Bakat Indonesia, as the speaker. According to Monic, students are often faced with two choices: emotional well-being and academic success. Monic continued, both are essential to achieve. However, when the effort to achieve it does not pay attention to emotions or mental health, it will actually affect the productivity in achieving academic success. Then, what have students done to maintain mental health?
Monic revealed that many people think that psychologists only take care of psychosis and depressed people. That assumption is wrong. Psychologists, according to Monic, are like vitamins aimed at maintaining mental health. Also, said Monic, there are still people afraid of being considered weak when consulting to a psychologist. In fact, on the contrary, only strong people dare to admit their existence and weaknesses.
In maintaining mental health, students need to adapt to the situation that occurs. She said, “We have to focus on what can be controlled. When we face a problem, we cannot control the outside, but we can control ourselves." Your own ability to respond will make a big difference in the result. Monic also added that humans as social beings are surrounded by people who can be used as a place to tell stories. “Take advantage of that. Because sometimes we also need to get the views of others to listen to the problems we face," she concluded. (Gilang Suryanata, PR team. Photo: Gilang Suryanata)
