As the Student Development and Psychological Counseling Center, we consider supporting the psychosocial well-being of our university community a core responsibility.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period marked by uncertainty and heightened psychological distress, we worked in collaboration with the TEDU COPeS Psychosocial Support Team, which is activated during times of crisis and disaster, to provide comprehensive psychosocial support for our students and staff.
Similarly, following the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes, we partnered once again with TEDU COPeS to develop support processes aimed at understanding the challenges experienced by students and their families affected by the earthquakes, and to facilitate access to the support they needed.
The Student Development and Psychological Counseling Center remains committed to offering compassionate, inclusive, and holistic psychosocial support to members of the university community during times of societal or individual crisis and adversity.
