Abstract

The article discusses the effectiveness of using art-therapeutic techniques in work with students, aimed at improving the mental, physical capabilities of university students, building a student team and developing emotional stability. The concepts of "social group" and "student body" are considered. The author of the article proves that the implementation of such a pedagogical condition as involving students in art therapy programmes leads to positive outcomes ,which indicates its effectiveness. Faculty members are expected to play an important role in enhancing students' positive moods by keeping them away from bad moods and encouraging them to focus only on good academic performance to achieve optimal academic results. Art therapy classes can help students to better understand themselves, their emotions and reactions to stress, and to develop skills of emotion regulation. The article establishes that art therapy can be an effective intervention for university students, fostering emotional stability and improving mental well-being through a structured, safe, and creative setting for the exploration of emotions and thoughts.
