Psychological care
Today’s world imposes a philosophy of making quick choices and the expectation of success without mistakes, which creates pressure. School is a space where students face both educational and relational challenges.
Being a teenager and entering adulthood is the most important developmental challenge in human life.
Young people experience constant contradictions, and they may have difficulties deciding between::
- adulthood and childhood,
- friends and family,
- the need for independence and the need for support,
- the need for intimacy and secrecy and the need for closeness with parents,
- independence, freedom of choice and dependence and structure,
- the material world and the spiritual world,
- the virtual world and the real world.
It’s completely natural for young people to get lost, to search, and to not know.
The meeting with the school psychologist is a situation in which the student receives assistance in resolving conflict in all its potential forms. This is an opportunity to look at oneself and one’s own priorities from a different perspective, take a short break to reflect.
The psychologist constantly cooperates with teachers and monitors students’ situations on an ongoing basis.
