Bridging Campus and Schools: UIN Jakarta Faculty of Psychology Secures 5-Year Pact for Mental Health Field Placements
FPSI, UIN Online News – To scale up applied field training networks for its undergraduate students, the Faculty of Psychology at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta has expanded its corporate network to cultivate an elite generation of practitioners equipped with advanced clinical skills. The strategic initiative was institutionalized through a formal signing ceremony held at the Jahja Umar Main Conference Room, Faculty of Psychology (FPSI) building on Monday, June 15, 2026.
The executive forum was officially opened by the Dean of FPSI, Dr. Yunita Faela Nisa, and attended by senior delegates from Madrasah Aliyah (MA) Pembangunan UIN Jakarta, including the Vice Director of Academic Affairs and IT, Prof. Dr. Zulfiani, alongside senior university lecturers and psychology researchers.
In her executive address, Dr. Yunita Faela Nisa analyzed that building structured collaborations between state universities and secondary schools is a critical milestone to engineer a highly functional, continuous educational ecosystem for the nation's youth. Through this strategic platform, FPSI undergraduates will secure certified field placements and corporate internships designed to deploy psychological interventions and advanced mental wellness strategies directly into the school system.
MA Pembangunan demonstrated its deep institutional commitment to the project by executing a binding five-year cooperation contract. The long-term framework is designed to optimize educational quality, elevate student competency benchmarks, and strengthen the active role of applied psychology within modern secondary school governance.
The partnership directly expands the clinical workspace for UIN Jakarta’s psychology students, granting them immersive opportunities to sharpen their academic theories and professional counseling methodologies through face-to-face engagements inside the MA Pembangunan campus environment.
The five-year operational roadmap secures a stable collaborative pipeline, allowing both institutions to continuously pioneer integrated mental health modules, student behavior assessments, and teacher-parent counseling workshops over the next fiscal years.
Beyond traditional school counseling, the Faculty of Psychology continues to reinforce its prestige as a premier national provider of emergency psychological relief during macro-environmental crises and natural disasters.
Operating under verified global frameworks for Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), the faculty regularly deploys specialist teams to deliver rapid emotional and psychological stabilization for disaster survivors. The university’s specialized humanitarian programs encompass direct clinical counseling, intensive trauma-healing workshops, post-disaster psychological mapping, and structured group therapy designed to accelerate communal mental recovery in crisis zones.
This continuous field engagement serves as solid empirical evidence of the Faculty of Psychology’s commitment to translating abstract behavioral sciences into scalable, real-world solutions that maximize community resilience, public safety, and human welfare through its strategic partnership with MA Pembangunan UIN Jakarta.
