In the light of the accelerating rhythm of
modern life and the increasing needs of university students for support,
both psychologically and socially, to be able to better face the stressors and difficulties of daily
life,
the Faculty of Human Sciences (Psychology Department) proposes the establishment of the Psycho-social
Unit at BAU.
This unit becomes an inevitable requirement for the welfare of BAU students. Officially opened and
active as of February 29, 2024, such a step will be a pioneering
contribution by BAU among Lebanese universities.
Vision
The Unit aims to be a pioneer in Lebanon, that offers psychological and
social services to the students at the
university, while empowering them to achieve their inner adjustment in both psychological and social
terms.
Mission
The Unit seeks to effectively contribute to the
self-development of the students who are in need of care and
psycho-social support.
The aim is to help them attain the optimal level of psycho-social adjustment with themselves and their
surroundings,
by providing counseling sessions and raising awareness.
