Dongshin University’s ‘Non-face-to-face Psychological Counseling’ Receives Positive Reviews

Online Psychological Tests 287 Cases and Real-Time Camp Counseling 112 Cases Conducted

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Student Counseling Center at Dongshin University (Director Park Hee-hyun) is receiving favorable reviews for supporting 'non-face-to-face psychological counseling' for enrolled students and local residents experiencing psychological anxiety due to COVID-19.

According to Dongshin University on the 31st, the Student Counseling Center conducted 16 non-face-to-face phone counseling sessions, 287 online psychological tests, 112 counseling sessions interpreting psychological test results using real-time video calls, and 190 visiting group counseling programs for freshmen and enrolled students until the 29th.

Professional counselors on campus manage students who apply for counseling through non-face-to-face psychological counseling.

Students confused by the delay of the semester and non-face-to-face classes gain a sense of belonging and stability through psychological counseling, which is highly evaluated as greatly helpful in preventing and relieving psychological pain and stress.

A student who used the psychological test program said in a satisfaction survey, "Along with the interpretation of the psychological test, they provided a lot of information and listened to my personal concerns, which was very helpful," adding, "It felt really good as if the chest that was stuffy due to COVID-19 was cleared."

The Student Counseling Center is conducting the Korean Counseling Association's 'free COVID-19 phone counseling' not only for enrolled students but also for the general public.

Experienced counselors from the Korean Counseling Association and professional counselors currently enrolled in doctoral programs handle the first counseling session, and Dongshin University's Student Counseling Center provides additional free phone counseling for local residents who require follow-up counseling.

Park Hee-hyun, director of Dongshin University Student Counseling Center, said, "We will do our best to help students and local residents who are struggling due to COVID-19 find mental health and psychological stability."
