Eunpyeong-gu Youth Counseling Welfare Center Opens 'School Online Counseling Office'

Counseling Provided via YouTube Channel for Students Exhausted by COVID-19

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) Youth Counseling and Welfare Center will open the ‘School Online Counseling Office’ from July to November this year as part of the crisis youth support project.

The ‘School Online Counseling Office’ will be conducted through a real-time online YouTube channel that is easily accessible for counseling the concerns of local youth who are exhausted from ‘social distancing’ and indoor activities due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. It will actively intervene in psychological difficulties and provide emotional support.

Youth who wish to participate can scan the QR code on the project poster, register their concerns, and watch the counseling live on the Eunpyeong-gu Youth Counseling and Welfare Center YouTube channel on the designated day of each session.

An Young-chun, director of the Eunpyeong-gu Youth Counseling and Welfare Center, stated, “The School Online Counseling Office is expected to provide great help to youth who have psychological difficulties but cannot visit the counseling welfare center in person, and this project will gradually expand in the future.”

The Eunpyeong-gu Youth Counseling and Welfare Center was established in 2010 with support from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, Seoul City, and Eunpyeong-gu under Article 29 of the Youth Welfare Support Act and Article 14 of its Enforcement Decree. It is a non-profit organization operating ‘youth counseling projects’ such as youth hotline 1388, psychological testing, counseling, and education, as well as a ‘youth safety net’ including emergency rescue, protection, linkage, and consultation.
