Currently, the problem of creating a psychologically safe educational environment occupies a significant place in the educational environment. “Psychological health” is becoming a key concept for educational institutions in terms of creating a psychologically safe educational environment, free from psychological violence, and preventing the occurrence of negative emotional experiences of a child in the educational process. A psychologically safe educational environment contributes to a student’s better assimilation of educational material and the full development of his personality. Consequently, the creation of a psychologically safe educational environment is an important element of pedagogical work at school.
