The Department of Psychological Support at Odesa State University of Internal Affairs is implementing modern approaches to providing psychological assistance.

Thanks to the support of partners from the Charitable Organization «Mind Charity», specialists at the department received six Oculus Quest Pro virtual reality headsets, which will be used to integrate VR therapy technologies into the professional practice of psychologists in the psychological support department.

Virtual reality is currently one of the most promising tools for psychological support. It allows for the creation of a safe and controlled environment for addressing the effects of stress, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic reactions, and emotional exhaustion, and it also helps develop self-regulation skills and psychological resilience.

The use of VR technology opens up new possibilities for psychotherapy, relaxation techniques, stress resilience training, and psychological rehabilitation. Innovative methods help make psychological support more accessible, effective, and tailored to today’s challenges.
