The Counseling Center (located in Building 18) provides counseling rooms for students and for the general public. With the establishment of the Human Sciences Research Center in 2002, the Counseling Center has gone on to become a base for research activities, thus enhancing the relationship of organizations both within and outside Konan Gakuen. The Clinical Psychology Field course, which is taught to those majoring in Human Sciences at Konan Graduate School, was the first to be designated as a first-class course by the Japanese Certification Board for Clinical Psychologists in Japan. The Counseling Room serves as a place for students attending graduate school to train and practice clinical psychology. Play therapy and psychotherapy are mainly used to help people of many ages. In addition, artistic treatment (art groups) is practiced, and clinical psychologists, male nurses and graduate school students also lend their support in child raising programs, thus winning much acclaim in Japan for innovative endeavors. The Center also contributes to the local society through the above activities.
