How seniors learned

I can do my best because I'm not alone. A learning environment where I can progress with my peers.

I was attracted by the curriculum of certified psychologists and the system, which allows planned learning from the first year, and chose the Mental Health and Welfare Major.
 
Because everyone shares the same goals, there are many things we can empathize with, and we can support each other and strive to improve, so this Major was truly great.

I work as a school counselor during the week and as a clinical psychologist at a clinic on weekends.
During my time at university, my studies in psychology and mental health welfare helped me develop a perspective that considers the relationship between the individual and the environment.
I've found that the skills I learned are useful in my current job, such as deciding whether it's better to help someone sort out their feelings or adjust their environment.
