이야기 치료에 기반한 ‘청년 정서적 자활 프로그램 growing TREE(trust and respect yourself with encouragement and empowerment)’의 시행과 효과성 평가: 청년 자활 참여자를 대상으로

초록

As the economic recession and high unemployment rate persist, young adults who need to enter the labor market for the first time or who have relatively unstable employment status are facing significant challenges. In particular, young adults from low-income households have experienced even greater difficulties. As their challenges intensified and prolonged, they increasingly participated in self-sufficiency programs, which were mainly targeted to middle-aged and older people. To address this growing need, this study aimed to develop, implement, and evaluate a psychological self-sufficiency program, called ‘Growing TREE(Trust and respect with encouragement and empowerment).’ Pre and post design without a control group was employed to examine the program’s outcomes. The results indicated that the TREE program effectively enhanced young adults’ psychological self-sufficiency, perceived economic self-sufficiency, self-efficacy, and self-esteem among participants. The study concludes with a discussion of practical implications.
