Daekyo Educamp Launches Social Adaptation Program for Borderline Youth

Daekyo EduCamp announced on the 9th the launch of the ‘CheongCheong Program’ to support the social adaptation of borderline adolescents and young adults.

With the launch of this program, Daekyo EduCamp has completed a step-by-step and systematic learning lineup for individuals with borderline intelligence, ranging from children to adolescents and young adults.

The CheongCheong Program, provided through Dream Mentor, Daekyo EduCamp’s psychological and emotional counseling specialist institution, listens to and addresses the various difficulties faced by borderline adolescents and young adults, aiming to improve interpersonal skills and social life abilities.

The CheongCheong Program curriculum consists of four stages. Depending on the needs of the participants, they can study the one-year course step-by-step or select and study the desired stage. Each stage is designed as follows: ▲ ‘Recovery Counseling’ for emotional recovery ▲ ‘General Society’ for improving interpersonal skills ▲ ‘Advanced Society’ for workplace relationships ▲ ‘Job Competency’ for strengthening job capabilities.

The program targets adolescents and young adults preparing for further education and can be participated in one-on-one or in small groups by visiting the center directly. There is also a service where professional counselors visit institutions directly, as well as an online counseling service for young adults living far away or who are afraid to go out.

Daekyo EduCamp operated a pilot CheongCheong Program for borderline intelligence young adults for about five months starting in July last year, and confirmed its effectiveness by observing improvements in participants’ emotional recognition, expression, behavior control, and other areas of social interaction.

A Daekyo EduCamp official stated, “The psychological difficulties of young adults with borderline intelligence lie more in forming relationships and the lack of specific methods in social situations than in work stress,” adding, “We will do our best to help them become independent, adapt to society, and gain confidence through the CheongCheong Program.”
