Department’s Facilities
Although the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili has allowed all students to use the facilities and laboratories of different educational groups, it is possible for counseling students to use the facilities of the student counseling center and the psychology laboratory and counseling environments at the university jointly. Four independent classes are allocated for counseling students at different levels. The existence of a suitable space for play therapy is also suitable for acquiring skills in working with children within the faculty and concluding a memorandum of understanding with government and private organizations to use the facilities available in the city of Ardabil to conduct internships in the fields of family, school, addiction, and the elderly, among the suitable conditions for education and research in this field. Currently, two scientific journals in English are published under the supervision of the counseling group colleagues with the usual scientific licenses:
Journal of Preventive Counseling
Journal of Family Relations Studies
Research Trends
Research in the field of family and prevention of disorders, as well as research in educational fields, especially academic problems, are among the various concerns of the group's faculty colleagues.
