The Hospital-type Wee Center is a privately commissioned project that provides counseling and treatment to students experiencing emotional and psychological difficulties. It offers one-stop services including professional in-depth treatment for at-risk students and alternative education programs to help students return to school.


In particular, this project aims to guarantee the right to learn and prevent school dropout for students hospitalized due to severe mental health issues. At-risk students can simultaneously receive treatment and continue their studies here, and in some cases, they may attend school while only using counseling and treatment services at the Hospital-type Wee Center.


Selection of at-risk students entrusted to the Hospital-type Wee Center is made from high-risk students experiencing severe emotional and psychological difficulties, who are first screened by schools or the Education Support Office Wee Center and then referred.


The center’s programs include ▲ in-depth professional counseling, psychological testing, and individual therapy ▲ family counseling ▲ treatment by psychiatrists ▲ operation of alternative education ▲ and teacher consultation.



Director Kim Kyung-jong stated, “I hope that students in our region who are struggling emotionally and psychologically can comfortably share their difficulties and find support,” adding, “We will do our best to make the Hospital-type Wee Center a warm and comfortable place.”
