[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A total care counseling service that provides one-stop consultation and solutions for all areas of students' lives, including their economic situation, academics, and psychology, has appeared on university campuses.

The Student Counseling Center at Silla University announced on the 11th that it is operating a counseling service called "All for One" to assist students with academics, psychology, daily life, finances, and interpersonal relationships.

The Counseling Center launched this program in mid-May to support students suffering from psychological shrinkage and anxiety due to inconveniences in daily life caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, such as avoiding outings, refraining from gatherings, social distancing, constant mask-wearing, and difficulties in finding part-time jobs.

"All for One" is a program that provides long-term, one-to-many care services for more than six months, where multiple consultants?including counselors, academic advisors, and administrative staff?work together to support one student in need.

The Counseling Center offers close-knit services to help students overcome difficulties in all aspects of life, in addition to basic psychological counseling. Silla University expects this program to have positive effects such as alleviating anxiety, restoring self-esteem, improving adaptation and satisfaction with school life, motivating academic pursuits, and preventing dropout.

For students facing various challenges in attendance, assignments, academics, career paths, time management, interpersonal relationships, and mood management, the center plans to provide diverse methods including face-to-face counseling, phone counseling, accompaniment to on-campus institutions, and linkage to on- and off-campus support services.

In fact, one counselor at the center helped a student who had stopped treatment due to economic difficulties caused by COVID-19 by seeking cooperation from internal departments to enable the student to resume treatment.

A representative from the Counseling Center said, "As a result of the united efforts of faculty, counselors, and various administrative departments of the university through this program, it seems that students have overcome difficulties and developed a sense of belonging."

They added, "It is not an easy task, but we work with the determination that multiple experts will join forces to protect each young person who will lead the future."
