This training is a teacher counseling program that practices character education based on sharing and empathy by strengthening teachers’ mind care counseling and communication skills.

The training is conducted by professional instructors visiting schools. Participants engage in an understanding and empathy program that helps them understand the temperament and characteristics of teachers and students, respect differences, and strengthen relationships.

The program consists of counseling activities such as mind painting that comforts the mind and emotions through drawings, picture books, and music, picture book therapy, mind care programs, temperament tests, and MBTI personality type tests.
