The aim of the article is to reveal the essence of psychological security of a person in the educational environment through the prism of his mental health. The following methods are used in the article: theoretical: analysis and synthesis, abstraction and idealization, induction and deduction, analogy, comparison, juxtaposition; terminological analysis (to define and specify the basic concepts of the study); prognostic analysis (to identify prospects for development); method of concretization and systematization of theoretical knowledge in the process of solving research problems.

The author argues that mental health should be considered not on the basis of the absence of mental disorders, but, in fact, because of the presence of appropriate components.

Western modern scholars consider self-esteem and anxiety to be the most informative indicators of mental health.

It is reflected in the security characteristics of its participants, which is further reflected in the relevant positive indicators of mental
health. Improving psychological security contributes to personal development and overall harmony in the field of mental health. The author outlines the prospects of her research, in particular points to the possibility of studying diagnostic tools to provide an appropriate assessment of the state of psychological safety in the educational environment both in order to create appropriate psychotechnologies and for monitoring.
