Daegu Happiness Promotion Center Meets 1,673 Youths for Counseling with Mobile Shelter Bus

The Daegu Happiness Promotion Center (Chairman Bae Ki-chul) Temporary Youth Shelter (Mobile) announced on November 26 that it has concluded its 2025 "Visiting School Counseling" program, meeting 1,673 students at nine middle and high schools this year-more than double the number from the previous year.

The "Visiting School Counseling" program involves visiting schools with a mobile shelter bus to provide counseling and experiential activities for youth. Last year, the program reached 758 students at five schools, offering counseling and a variety of programs, thereby delivering practical support to young people who have difficulty accessing support systems. Building on this foundation, the program expanded its reach to more schools and students this year, demonstrating both its effectiveness and scalability.

Daegu Happiness Promotion Center's Temporary Youth Shelter is conducting a "Visiting School Counseling" program at Seonggwang Middle School in Daegu.

This year, a variety of hands-on programs were offered to encourage youth participation without pressure, including DIY dried flower diffuser making, historical figure quizzes, and campaigns to prevent runaway behavior, promote respect for life, and prevent gambling addiction. These programs naturally led to counseling and education, while also helping to relieve stress, stabilize emotions, and boost self-esteem among youth. They also contributed to strengthening practical skills for recognizing and preventing risky situations.

The approach of meeting youth directly at schools offers significant advantages in terms of accessibility, participation, and trust, and has proven highly effective in identifying youth in vulnerable situations. The Daegu Temporary Youth Shelter (Mobile) was able to reach more schools and students this year based on these strengths, and is recognized for its substantial contribution to strengthening the region's youth protection system.

The Temporary Youth Shelter (Mobile) plans to continue expanding its field-oriented services tailored to the needs of youth, further reinforcing the local youth safety net.
