ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Academic experiences have gone beyond the limits of mandatory subjects, incorporating activities that broaden student training and relate to mental health in the academic context. Among these, extracurricular teaching practices favor the development of pedagogical, communicative, and interpersonal skills, but can impact subjective well-being. The need to reconcile these activities with the demands of undergraduate studies can generate academic overload, associated with feelings such as anxiety and insecurity. On the other hand, such experiences also contribute to emotional strengthening, increased empathy, improved listening skills, and interpersonal development. Therefore, it becomes important to analyze how these activities influence the mental health and subjective well-being of undergraduate students, simultaneously considering their challenges and potential in the formative process. Objective: To report the experience of conducting extracurricular teaching activities, highlighting perceptions about the impact of these activities on mental health and subjective well-being. Methodology: This is a descriptive study, of the experience report type, based on the experience of a medical student from 2024 to 2025, who participated as a facilitator in teaching activities. The reflections were constructed from the observation of aspects such as emotional involvement, management of personal insecurities, and internal demands throughout the teaching process. Results: The experience promoted both personal growth and increased anxiety, especially related to multifactorial overload. It was identified that the pressure to maintain efficient time management, balancing curricular obligations with the demands inherent in teaching, acts as a source of stress. On the other hand, the activity favored the development of greater emotional awareness, empathy, and listening skills, contributing to personal and academic maturation. Conclusion: The academic activities provided a process of ambivalence, impacting the student's mental health and well-being. The experience contributed to strengthening emotional management, the development of communication skills, and time management in the face of academic demands. These aspects reinforce the potential of these experiences as formative instruments, despite the associated challenges. FAPEMIG; CAPES.
