Significant assistance in the preparation and conduct of the Competition was provided by more than 40 volunteer students of KSMU.

Modern realities and the prevailing epidemiological situation place increased demands on the behavior of young people in difficult life situations: it is necessary to maintain confidence, know the algorithms of behavior and be able to provide assistance to those who need it. KSMU has already developed a tradition of organizing training for Kursk and nonresident youth in ways of providing emergency psychological assistance and support. The main goal of the competition is to promote a culture of safe behavior in extreme conditions and crisis situations of life, as well as to improve knowledge and skills in the field of providing pre-psychological care in accidents, stressful life circumstances, injuries and other conditions that threaten the life and health of people.

In 2021, teams from Kursk and Moscow higher, secondary and general educational institutions took part in the competition. The team of the KSMU International Institute took part in the Competition for the first time.

The program of the event provides for testing the participants for knowledge of the signs of the main manifestations of emotional states and algorithms of behavior in extreme situations, the peculiarities of interaction with victims. At the second stage, the participants had to demonstrate practical skills of interaction with victims. The third stage involved working with a psychological support telephone subscriber and providing remote assistance. Students of the medical, pediatric faculties, the faculty of clinical psychology, economics and management act as “victims” in all practical stages: they learned to demonstrate various emotional states for a long time: aggression, psychomotor agitation, apathy, hysteria, etc.
