GUIDANCE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING

The purpose of the Guidance and Psychological Counseling unit’s work at Gökkuşağı College is to correctly analyze the student, allowing the child to achieve self-realization in cognitive, emotional, and social terms. Through guidance activities, support is given to the students’ developmental processes, and actions are taken based on principles that aim to be preventive concerning problems they might encounter or to enable them to think solution-focused.

Activities related to different problems that all students can face in cognitive, emotional, and social areas according to their age levels are conducted. Not just in areas where problems are experienced, but also in their strong areas, activities are implemented to support students in becoming individuals who are at peace with themselves, questioning, mentally healthy, happy, and capable of making decisions on their own. Tests and inventories are applied to get to know the students better and assist them effectively.
