Recently, the results of the study "Barriers and Stereotypes: Why Do People Avoid Psychological Help?" were presented at American University Kyiv. The study was conducted by Rating Lab in collaboration with the Behavioral Research Institute, AUK. At the event, the Rating Group was represented by Marianna Tkalych, Doctor of Psychological Sciences, professor, founder and director of the Rating Lab Research Laboratory, and Tetiana Skrypchenko, Deputy Director of Rating Group. During the presentation, the speakers addressed not only the topic of barriers but also attitudes toward professionals, trust, stress, mental health improvement practices, and the number of traumatic events.
"We are grateful to everyone who participated, who came in person, and to our colleagues from research institutes and practitioners who asked questions, shared their experiences, and expressed their gratitude. This is an inexhaustible topic, and we are not going to exhaust it :) Together with the Rating Sociological Group, we continue to work on a large study of the mental health of children and adults, commissioned by UNICEF. So, stay tuned :) And of course, our research would not have been possible without our Rating Online platform and call center, which allow us to collect the best representative samples and provide us with valid data," said Marianna Tkalych, director of the Rating Lab Research Laboratory.
