The School Support Group consists of about 20 counseling teachers from elementary, middle, and high schools within Yeongdeok-gun, aiming to facilitate early detection and support for high-risk youth and to prevent youth violence through mutual cooperation with schools at all levels.

During the meeting, they discussed plans to link projects of the Yeongdeok-gun Youth Counseling and Welfare Center and establish a psychological and emotional support system for high-risk youth. To prevent burnout among the teacher support group, they also experienced forest healing and 'Singing Bowl Meditation.'

Um Jae-hee, director of the Yeongdeok-gun Youth Counseling and Welfare Center, said, “We will actively support the revitalization of the School Support Group operation to provide customized support tailored to the needs of local youth.”
