Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the need for psychological support and assistance has increased significantly, as our compatriots have faced crisis events that are both unpredictable and extremely difficult to endure. The growing demand for psychological help during wartime and in the post-war period places heightened requirements on the quality of professional training for psychologists.
Therefore, the primary objective of educational practical training for future psychologists is to master contemporary methods and forms of activity organization within their chosen profession, to develop essential professional skills and competencies, and to apply practical strategies for addressing specific challenges encountered across various fields where psychological knowledge is utilized.
From February 10 to March 08, 2025, students of the educational and professional program “Psychology” underwent educational and industrial practice in preschool educational institutions and institutions of general secondary education.
