The Psychological Service at Adriatic College

A school is more than just an educational institution. It is a place where a student's personality is shaped and developed. The work of the psychological service holds a significant place in the Adriatic College system. Experienced psychologists also assist parents and educators. Caring for students' emotional states, offering help during critical moments, and supporting adaptation are the essential tasks of the department.

The "Dialogue Club" - each class holds group sessions with a psychologist every two weeks. In primary school, these sessions aim to form basic emotional literacy, maintain an open, trusting, and friendly atmosphere, and teach communication skills and conflict resolution. Secondary school focuses on self-determination, teaching collaboration and communication skills, and developing resilience, purposefulness, and psychological well-being.

Individual Assistance - the psychological support room doors are open daily. Children can receive quick individual help in acute situations or seek supportive therapy.

Individual Meetings - such a meeting provides an opportunity to discuss a problem, develop solutions, and understand a specific situation. A student's parent can schedule an individual meeting with a psychologist through the class teacher.

Parents' Club - psychologists and parents jointly discuss and analyze issues of children's learning and development and the nuances of parent-child relationships. Club meetings take place once a term.

Psychologists advise teachers to resolve conflicts and communicate effectively with students and their parents. They help find optimal solutions in complex cases and create and maintain a comfortable atmosphere in the classroom. They conduct methodological meetings to motivate children of different ages in their studies.

The school's psychological service holds meetings for teachers every holiday to address professional burnout. These meetings focus on self-support skills, stress management, and finding a life-work balance. Such meetings help teachers maintain emotional balance, enhance their professional effectiveness, and create a healthy learning environment.

All meetings with psychologists are free. Students can visit the psychological help office during breaks or after lessons. The psychological support room is always quiet and very cosy when discussing personal issues or just taking a break from the noise and people around. Our psychologists are not just qualified specialists but friends with the students. Having earned their trust and always ready to help, they happily participate in school events alongside the kids.
