Psychological Support in Higher Education: Major Activities, Status, and Prospects

As part of the university education system, psychological support services continuously improve their methods and work forms to match the modern standards and maintain the psychological well-being of all participants in academic relations. The article reports two monitoring studies of psychological support for university students made in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024. They focused on the psychological counselling at the universities that participate in the pilot testing of a new psychological support model in the national higher education system. The research concentrated on the main areas and challenges of scientific and methodological support provided by the Federal Resource Center for Psychological Service in Higher Education. Despite the positive dynamics in psychological education, diagnostics, and emergency support, the spheres of group counseling and family counseling remain underdeveloped.
