Kyonggi University has a peer counselor called ‘Dal-lae’. Peer counseling is a program in which college students with similar experiences and values of similar ages receive certain training and then help other peers around them to solve their problems based on their own experiences and provide supportive help in various areas of life. The Pharos going to conduct an interview with a peer counselor, to find out about Dal-lae.
Peer counselors play a role in listening to students at Kyonggi University. Students can get counseling for serious problems, but they may also talk about light topics such as career and love issues. One of the advantages of counseling with peer counselors is that since counselors are of a similar age, they may empathize with students and resolve their concerns based on similar experiences. In particular, the psychological entry barriers of those in charge are much lower than those in counseling centers.
In addition to peer counseling, various activities conducted by Dal-lae are being conducted by the “Launch Together” program, which allows students to listen to their stories while eating together first. Due to the recent COVID-19 crisis, it is not easy to carry out face-to-face programs, so Dal-lae is conducting “non-face-to-face peer counseling” through KakaoTalk. Some counselors said they liked it better because the psychological entry barrier was lowered thanks to anonymous counseling on KakaoTalk. And through SNS such as Instagram, Facebook and Everytime, they can distribute interesting and informative card news and present the counseling schedule.
To deliver more realistic information, the Pharos met Lee Joon-woo, who is currently working as a peer counselor. We've heard a variety of stories, including information about Dal-eul, activities he is currently doing, and what he felt during his career.
Q. Please introduce yourself.
A. Hello, I’m Lee Jun-woo, majoring in Electronic Physics, and I'm currently working for the 5th generation of Dal-lae. Nice to meet you.
Q. Is there a reason you applied for Dal-lae?
A. I think there’s no person in life who doesn’t have big or small worries or difficulties. I didn’t know how to get through these big and small problems. And I also felt uncomfortable because I thought counseling was something only other people did. As I kept thinking about it, I felt that my body and mind were getting weaker. I thought I shouldn’t be like this, and I built up the courage to get counseling, and I felt relieved. At that time, I felt a lot about the net function of counseling, and what if I could listen to other people's concerns? That's what I thought. I applied because I had a chance to do a good job of coaxing my peer counselor.
Q. What’s important if you want to be part of Dal-lae?
A. The important part of being part of Dal-lae is, above all, the attitude of listening to another person and the experience of actively providing solutions to the other person. The attitude of listening to the other person is basically accepting that what the person in need wants is someone who listens to him or herself. Also the importance of the experience of presenting solutions is that it's our job to compare them to our experience so that the person in need can solve the problem in the future. In addition, in terms of counseling ability, emotional control and expression are important parts. I think it's really hard and difficult to empathize and give advice without being swayed by other people’s feelings. At first, I consulted with the mindset that “I’ve been educated, so I can do well,” but as I sympathized with the feelings of the person in need during the consultation, I felt that I was leaning toward emotion. At times like this, I keep asking myself, “How can I help my counselee?” I think it’s important to continue the counseling by asking yourself this question.
Q. What activities are you doing during the current COVID-19 crisis?
A. I think this term is really difficult. Because of the COVID-19 situation, it was difficult for us to do activities such as peer counseling, eat lunch together, and engage in booth activities. Therefore, we planned and conducted an online consultation using KakaoTalk and video chat. Of course, face-to-face counseling is more empathetic, but on the other hand, it was a rewarding activity because some people talked more comfortably because the entry barrier was lowered. For other activities, we planned and conducted an acrostic poem event and counseling review event through Instagram, and it was a fun and enjoyable experience because more people participated than expected. Due to the difficulty of meeting with other classmates, there were more activities to promote regarding Dal-hae than just counseling, but I did my best for counseling.
Q. What are the benefits of being a part of Dal-lae?
A. First of all, there are scholarships and KGU points. 400,000 won and 40 KGU points will be paid for 50 hours of activity per semester. I think it’s the biggest benefit of Dal-lae's activities. I think meeting a lot of people is the biggest advantage. I think it is a valuable experience since school classes alone cannot provide us with the experience to meet the members of the group and talk together and plan various programs and activities. Also, I think it is a great experience to communicate with various people and listen to various stories. Lastly, I was originally evaluated as lacking in empathy, but after consulting a lot, I think I have the ability to listen to people and empathize with them. I think this is a great advantage.
Q. What are some of the difficulties of doing the activities?
A. I think it’s the hardest to meet someone and understand their situation. The person who receives counseling only when he or she enters into and empathizes with his or her feelings also feels that I am respected. So when I have to empathize with a bad situation, my heart also aches. I would feel good if I only empathized with good things, but counseling is primarily for concerns and there are many bad situations, so sometimes I feel depressed. When you empathize, you have to use your rational side when you instinctively come up with emotional side solutions, but that seems to be difficult.
Q. What part of Dal-lae are you most proud of?
A. The most proud and memorable thing for me is that I handed myself over to a professional counseling center. At first, I consulted with confidence, but from the second session, I realized that I couldn’t talk with confidence and theory alone. The second counseling session itself was very difficult and it was very touching and painful for me, so I remember it a lot. But after consulting with the best of my ability and trying to connect to a professional institution, I handed myself over to a professional institution and said, “I made a reservation. Thank you.” I was so proud and happy.
Q. Can you give some advice to the students at Kyonggi University?
A. Everyone lives with big and small worries. I'm sure our students at Kyonggi University have these kinds of concerns, too. I hope you don’t have a hard time and face it alone. You might have a repulsion toward counseling, but there is no shame in doing it. If you have any worries or concerns, don't hesitate to visit our peer counselor program, Dal-lae, and we'll do our best to help you. I will always be a comfortable counselor like a friend. Thank you.
Through the interview, I looked at what kind of activities Kyonggi University’s peer counselor called Dal-lae is doing. If you’re depressed and troubled by COVID-19, why don’t try to find a peer counselor and solve your problems together?
