Who Are We

Kadir Has Psychological Counseling and Guidance Center (KHAS-PDRM) puts the needs of students at the center and enables them to realize their mental, emotional and social potential. To use this potential and the resources around it efficiently, we aim to provide protective/preventive and, when necessary, intervention-oriented mental health services voluntarily to give a multicultural psychological service with a reliable and sheltered environment.

However, it is to carry out “preventive” studies for the problems that may arise during the learning process. With our work, we adopt a psychological approach different from medical intervention, which deals with the human as a whole.

OUR PRINCIPLES

In addition, it takes care that individual and cultural differences such as age, gender, religion, language, race, socioeconomic level, belonging to different groups or cultures, sexual orientation, and marital status do not adversely affect the service they will provide.
