Goryeong County Youth Counseling and Welfare Center Conducts Capacity-Building Training for Peer Counselors

The Goryeong County Youth Counseling and Welfare Center (headed by County Governor Lee Namcheol) is conducting a total of ten capacity-building training sessions using the "Mind Exploration Board Game" for peer counselors at Ugok Elementary School and Goryeong Middle School from September 18 to November 13.

Peer counseling is an activity in which trained peer counselors support and assist friends who are experiencing difficulties. It is a system designed to help young people support each other and solve problems together. This year, 18 peer counselors have been trained and are currently active in each school.

This training utilizes board games that are familiar to young people to spark interest and encourage voluntary participation, helping to enhance creative thinking and problem-solving skills based on self-understanding. It is also expected to contribute to improving peer relationships and social skills through open communication.

Park Hyunsoo, Director of the Goryeong County Youth Counseling and Welfare Center, stated, "We will actively work to revitalize the peer counseling program and foster a healthy counseling culture, so that it can help improve peer relationships and prevent school violence."
