Cotree Co., Ltd., which provides consulting related to the mental health of organizations, released "cotree for Student", an online counseling service for university and vocational school students, and introduced its pilot at Kyoto University on September 2017, 9. Started.

 According to a survey conducted by the Japan Student Services Organization in 2015, the number of university student consultations regarding interpersonal relationships and developmental disabilities is increasing year by year.However, on the other hand, the number of full-time counselors set up is declining, and the increase in the burden on counselors in existing student counseling rooms is currently an issue.

 In addition, about 87% of universities have an awareness of issues regarding student counseling, "correspondence to students who have troubles but do not come to counseling", and the counseling room for students who are not good at withdrawal and interpersonal relationships. Dealing with students who cannot come to Japan has become a common issue in recent student counseling rooms.

 Based on this situation, cotree has released "cotree for Student", an online counseling service that allows students who are reluctant to use the student counseling room to consult with specialists such as clinical psychologists and career counselors online. ..You will be able to consult with specialists such as clinical psychologists and career counselors via video, chat, and telephone from your PC or smartphone at any time and place, such as at night or on vacation.
For users who are more likely to express "writing" than "speaking," self-monitoring (behavioral recording) and self-care teaching materials and work based on cognitive-behavioral therapy can be used together as needed.

 As the first step in the introduction, we started to introduce a pilot of "cotree for Student" for students of Kyoto University in collaboration with the Student Support Center of Kyoto University.We aim to provide a receiver for the needs of students that cannot be met by the conventional student counseling room, reduce the burden on the counseling room on campus, and lead to more effective student counseling management.
