BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANISATION
PVŠPS is a private college founded in 2001. PVŠPS offers bachelor's and master ́s programmes in Psychology, and Social work with orientation to communication and applied psychotherapy. PVŠPS has a special separate part, the Prague Psychotherapeutic Faculty that organises three-year weekend theoretical study of psychotherapy in a form of lifelong learning. In 2009 PVŠPS joined the Erasmus programme and was awarded with an Erasmus University Charter by the European Commission. In 2014 we joined the Erasmus+ program. PVŠPS also regularly organizes the Psychologist in Healthcare course, completion of which is a prerequisite for psychologists to work at a medical care providing facility.
HOW THE ORGANISATION WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISSEMINATION AND EXPLOITATION OF THE PROJECT RESULTS
PVŠPS will promote the project and its outcomes through our online channels, website and social media. The project’s outputs (MOOCs, Toolkits, etc.) will be used by our academic workers (psychologists) in the courses to improve clinical competences and crisis management facilitating competences of our students both in the regular pre-graduate and lifelong learning courses, and also in their clinical practice.
