This program is designed to help teachers who have experienced emotional exhaustion or trauma due to infringements on educational activities and work-related stress to recover psychologically and achieve inner growth, enabling them to re-engage with their teaching duties.

Participating teachers will take part in a variety of healing programs, including one-on-one personalized counseling, meditation, media group counseling, and somatic movement. These activities are intended to help them heal emotional wounds, achieve emotional stability, and enhance their resilience.

The Gangwon Provincial Office of Education has operated group counseling programs a total of four times this year, with 50 teachers participating in the first to third sessions and reporting high levels of satisfaction. This demonstrates that policies reflecting teachers' voices are producing tangible results.

Suh Jongcheol, Director of Policy Planning, stated, "The recovery of teachers leads directly to the recovery of education. When teachers can focus on teaching with peace of mind, students' learning can truly flourish. We will continue to provide substantial psychological and emotional support centered on healing."
