Damyang Youth Counseling Welfare Center Operates 'Visiting Counseling Room'

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] The Jeonnam Damyang County Youth Counseling Welfare Center announced on the 16th that it operated a 'Visiting Counseling Room' for character education and self-growth of youth.

This year, the counseling room was conducted 22 times at four local children's centers, targeting 46 at-risk (potentially at-risk) youth from elementary, middle, and high schools in the area.

Youth experts directly visited youths in need of help to build continuous relationships and provided personalized integrated services such as counseling, emotional support, and institutional linkage.

Counseling services are available to any youth aged 9 to under 24 residing in the county and their families, who can receive various support via phone or through the Damyang County Youth Counseling Welfare Center. The center also operates 1:1 chat counseling via the KakaoTalk Plus Friend channel, psychological testing, and information provision services.

A center official said, "Through this program, providing visiting services to at-risk youth has become an opportunity to solve problems and improve crisis factors."
