Abstract

The article provides a structural-level analysis of the experience of organizing counseling work with adolescents. The features of psychological counseling of adolescents are revealed, taking into account the characteristics of a given age period of a child's life and the main social risks of our time. Systematization of scientifically based and ethical principles of psychological counseling of adolescents, accepted in the professional community, has been carried out. The main themes of the psychological experience of counseling adolescents are described based on the analysis of professional experience, in particular in the education system. The aim is to summarize the international experience of counseling with the help of telemedicine to identify opportunities and limitations in the use of these tools in practice, the availability of psychological assistance to adolescents living, in particular, in rural areas. Methods. The study uses methods of generalization and systematization of existing research (international experience) in the field of telemedicine. Results. Research shows that adolescents with psychological problems are usually negatively affected by the rural environment, while psychological assistance is less available for this social group. It was found that the restriction of such assistance is due primarily to the lack of anonymity, a developed culture of psychological self-help, increasing social stigma of mental illness. The study showed that the most appropriate institutional form of psychological counseling is access to such services through specialized counseling services organized within the educational environment of rural schools. In addition, based on the generalization of experience, it is shown that the most effective means of telemedicine is to offer standardized programs of psychological assistance, as well as improving the security of personal information through the involvement of specialists from regional centers. Conclusions. The use of telemedicine is a unique tool to support young people with psychological problems and mental disorders in rural areas. Psychological counseling through telemedicine in schools is an effective way for rural adolescents to access qualified care.
