Established in April 2021, the Institute of Applied Psychological and Educational Sciences focuses on research and the transfer of psychological solutions into real-life situations. With a scientific council and a professional staff of 81 members, the institute has implemented 10 research projects and signed 12 scientific and technological service contracts. Notably, the Institute has focused on building a theoretical and practical foundation through the compilation of a handbook for operating school psychological counseling rooms, the development of a mental health screening test toolkit, and the organization of national-level scientific conferences on digital transformation in psychological counseling.

Building upon research, clinical psychology practice and school support services are directly implemented in educational institutions. According to the summary report, the Institute conducted mental health screenings for 12,655 students in 28 schools to detect early psychological risks. The affiliated counseling centers also received and processed 7,862 intervention sessions for 4,625 specific cases. Simultaneously, training and professional development in school counseling for 212 administrators and teachers in various localities is regularly conducted to address the shortage of personnel at the grassroots level.
