Adult-Oriented Activities
Our center’s adult-oriented activities encompass programs aimed at our academic/administrative staff, parents, and the broader community.
Supporting All Adults Working with Students:
Our psychological counselors hold regular meetings with teachers of various grade levels to support them in the socio-emotional and cognitive development of their students. They guide the implementation of preventive measures and the creation of intervention programs in line with their area of expertise to support students effectively.
Child Protection Program:
Each school has a psychological counselor who is also a member of the school’s Child Protection Team. Additionally, all counselors actively work to ensure that adults are informed about all rules, expectations, and plans related to child protection and to support the achievement of child protection goals.
Mental Health Activities for School Staff:
- Individual counseling sessions as needed
- Closed experiential groups (Mindfulness, psychodrama, therapeutic cards, etc.)
- Sharing of digital resources on socio-emotional learning topics
- Articles and newsletters based on current topics
