The goal of the program is active correction and reduction of the level of deviance among students through targeted psychological interventions. The author emphasizes the need to integrate diagnostic results into practical activities, especially in the development and implementation of correctional programs. A detailed analysis of the causes and determination of the level of deviance among students are key steps in understanding, adapting, and effectively implementing correctional strategies. Additionally, the author highlights the importance of combining theoretical aspects of research with practical applications, allowing for a more comprehensive and applicable solution in the field of education and psychological support for students. The obtained results not only serve as a basis for practical activities in the educational environment but also become a significant resource for further scientific research in the field of higher education psychology. This article serves as an important guide for researchers and practitioners involved in the psychosocial support of students and forms the basis for further developments in this field.
