Russian Women Association hosts neuropsychology session on managing stress in uncertain times

The Russian Women Association in the UAE held a wellness-focused morning session yesterday, April 1, bringing together Russian and CIS women in Dubai for an insightful discussion on emotional resilience and mental well-being.

The event, titled “How to stay grounded in times of uncertainty,” was led by neuropsychologist Dr. Irina Nadjib, who guided participants through the science behind stress and practical ways to manage it.

The session explored how stress responses are formed from a neuropsychological perspective, as well as the specific ways women experience and process stress. Participants also discussed why emotional overwhelm can occur even when situations appear to be under control, and how to better recognize and respond to these moments.

A key focus of the morning was on practical tools designed to support everyday well-being. Attendees were introduced to techniques for reducing anxiety, identifying inner sources of stability, and restoring a sense of strength and confidence during periods of uncertainty.

The event provided not only expert insights but also a supportive and open environment for discussion, reflecting a growing demand for community-driven wellness initiatives in Dubai.

Organizers described the gathering as a meaningful and empowering experience, combining scientific knowledge with practical application in a warm and engaging setting.
