This emotional support program, held at the Gwangju Center lecture hall, is the third session this year and is conducted for middle-aged and senior people who are experiencing depression and difficulties in finding employment due to the COVID-19 situation.
The program runs for a total of 6 hours, with 3 hours of group psychological counseling over 2 days. On the first day, participants spent time getting to know themselves using various tools such as emotional Jenga.
On the second day, the program focused on resolving inner negative emotions and finding one’s own strengths and happiness.
