Listening and psychological support at the university. The example of an experience at the University of Bejaia.

Abstract

In 2013, a psychological listening cell was created at the University of Bejaia to listen and provide psychological support for the university community. As research professors in clinical psychology at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, we worked in this cell for two years. In March 2019, a ministerial note announced the plan to create university psychological help centers. This news aroused our desire to relate our experience of working within the psychological unit, whose missions correspond to those announced by the new ministerial project.
