THE IMPACT OF VALUE ORIENTATIONS ON RESOURCE RECOVERY AND MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT IN AN INCLUSIVE SOCIETY

Abstract

The issue of mental health has gained particular significance in the context of social, economic, and humanitarian challenges faced by Ukraine. The adoption of Law № 12030 “On the Mental Health Care System” by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine marks a crucial step toward developing a comprehensive approach to ensuring the mental well-being of the population. Modern models of mental health care emphasize a personalized approach, which is based on an understanding of individual needs and value orientations. Research confirms that personal factors such as optimism, life meaning, gratitude, and social support play a critical role in resource recovery and the development of psychological resilience.This article analyzes the impact of value orientations on adaptation mechanisms for maintaining mental health in an inclusive society. It examines classical theories by A. Maslow, M. Rokeach, Sh. Schwartz, and V. Frankl, which explain the role of values in self-regulation and crisis management. Studies indicate that awareness of one’s life priorities contributes to improved psychological well-being, reduced anxiety, and the prevention of emotional burnout. Special attention is given to the integration of personal values into psychosocial support programs and the development of resilience among vulnerable population groups, particularly people with disabilities, internally displaced persons, and children with special educational needs.The findings confirm that value-oriented strategies facilitate effective resource recovery and personal adaptation to crisis conditions. Developing a mental health policy based on a value-driven approach is a promising direction for the advancement of an inclusive society, ensuring equal opportunities and psychological well-being for all its members.
