Abstract

This study analyzes the role of peer-to-peer counseling in reducing exam stress. The peer-to-peer approach is based on mutual psychological support among students. This method promotes free expression of feelings and concerns. During the sessions, students master stress management strategies and emotional balance. Peer-to-peer counseling strengthens social connections and an atmosphere of cohesion. This has a positive effect on academic activity and mental health of students. The method is accessible, easy to implement and can be widely used. In this regard, its integration into the higher education system is recommended.

Keywords
