The study is aimed at studying the issues of psychological safety and preventing the risk of professional-emotional burnout of teachers-curators of student groups of the university. Attention is paid to the influence of the psychological climate, professional well-being of the teaching staff on the safety of the educational environment. As hypotheses, it is suggested that the academic and educational environment of the university, in general, meets the safety requirements in terms of the psychological well-being of teachers and curators, while some curators may need psychological support; there is a link between measures of psychological well-being and job satisfaction. The study involved 93 curators of student groups of a pedagogical university, of which: 79 women, 14 men, age range 22-66 years. The safety of the educational environment was assessed through the criteria: satisfaction with work, professional burnout, psychological health of the curators of student groups. Diagnostic tools: Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), «Integral Index of Job Satisfaction», «Professional Burnout Diagnosis» (C. Maslach, S. Jackson, adapted by N.E. Vodopyanova). It has been established that, in general, the academic and educational environment of the university meets the safety requirements in terms of the psychological well-being of teachers and curators, while some curators experience certain manifestations of psychological distress, they require psychological assistance. Weak correlations between the symptoms of burnout and general satisfaction with the profession were identified, demonstrating the complex dynamics of factors affecting the psychological health of teachers. The work emphasizes the need for an integrated approach to ensuring the psychological well-being of the teacher, especially given the influence of curators to create a safe space for students. These conclusions can be used in the implementation of the educational process in universities and help develop programs to support university employees.
