“Modern Challenges for Educational Psychologists in Educational Organizations: Solutions”: KAFU Lecturer Participates in a Regional Conference

On April 3, 2026, Irina A. Fedorova, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology at KAFU, participated in the regional scientific and practical conference “Modern Challenges for Educational Psychologists in Educational Organizations: Solutions,” organized by the Regional Center for Psychological Support and Assistance.

The speaker delivered an analytical report on the topic “Family Today: Trends, Prospects, Risk Zones,” in which she presented current data on the nuclearization of families, the growth of single-parent families, the value shift toward individualism and love as the primary motive for marriage, and the transition of state support from welfare payments to digital ecosystems. The knowledge gained is critically important for educational psychologists, as it allows them not only to diagnose the real causes of crisis situations in children and parents—including isolation, lack of faith in help, and dual educational messages—but also to develop effective family support systems in difficult situations, shifting the focus from moderating everyday conflicts to deep work with anxiety, boundaries, and the mediation of expectations.

This collaboration between the KAFU academic community and regional support centers ensures the synchronization of scientific knowledge with the real needs of practitioners, the implementation of an evidence-based approach in psychological and pedagogical support, and the formation of a unified professional environment capable of responding to modern challenges systematically and without information gaps.
