The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation's Sports Lottery and Sports Toto General Division has launched the 'Hopeful Companion Group Counseling Program' and the 'In-depth Counseling Program' to promote healthy leisure activities among users.
This program is characterized by its shift from a reactive, post-consumption approach to one focused on preventing over-engagement and improving usage habits at the point of use. Notably, this year, a group counseling program has been newly introduced to further strengthen preventive functions.
The 'Hopeful Companion Group Counseling Program' targets customers who need to regulate their usage, helping them review their own usage patterns and develop healthy leisure habits. Held once a month, the program is structured around initial motivation enhancement activities, exploration of personal values, and stress management techniques. Additionally, it encourages voluntary change and action through shared experiences and mutual empathy among participants.
The 'In-depth Counseling Program' is a multi-session individual counseling service designed for users requiring more systematic management. It utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to support improvements in self-regulation abilities and usage behaviors.
A representative of the Sports Lottery and Sports Toto General Division stated, "This program aims to prevent over-engagement and establish a healthy usage culture based on the voluntary participation of users."
