The psychological service of the school implements the following programs: The Strong Family Program This project was created by the School of Health and Social Well-being at Oxford Brookes University. The main goal of the project is to reduce the number of family factors that subsequently cause deviations in the behavior of adolescents, as well as to promote the development of good relations between them and their parents. "Parents who have participated in the program can largely reconsider their behavior according to what they learned in the classroom, acquiring skills such as the ability to effectively analyze the situation and the psychological state of their children, calmly listen to them when they are upset. These improvements in target behavior, in turn, should lead to a change in the emotional qualities of the family," the psychologists note. The implementation of this program involves seven meetings with parents and children once a week.

The program for the prevention of destructive behavior of adolescents at school According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Kazakhstan is among the countries with the highest suicide rate in the world. The majority of deaths due to suicide were among young people aged 18 to 29 years, which accounts for 80% of the total number of suicides in the country. Schools are the best place for early detection of adolescents at risk of suicidal behavior because: it is a place where adolescents spend most of their waking hours outside the home, it is a special environment where personal skills are developed and a healthy lifestyle is instilled. It was found that school-based information programs are effective in preventing suicide attempts among adolescents.
Therefore, the program conducted at our school is aimed at students in grades 8-12 and is aimed at improving the mental health of adolescents, preventing self-destructive behavior. The sequence of implementation of the program stages: · Informing parents/guardians about the program through parent-teacher meetings in each classroom; · Training of school staff; · Informing students about the suicide prevention program; · identification of students at risk through a survey; · Conducting interviews with students identified as a possible risk group and, if necessary, redirecting them to health services; · Raising awareness of adolescents about mental health through classes.
