大学生が主体となった包括的性教育の実践と課題 -- 長野県における思春期ピアカウンセラーの養成及び活動から

Abstract

In Nagano Prefecture, more than 640 adolescent peer counselors have been trained through prefectural programs, but the training course was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the activities of the peer circle at universities were reduced accordingly. However, Seisen University and the Nagano Health and Welfare Office jointly resumed the training course in FY2023 in order to continue training adolescent peer counselors who can provide comprehensive sexuality knowledge to adolescents in the same position. With the resumption of training courses and an increase in the number of adolescent peer counselors, peer circle activities have become more active. This led to activities such as conducting peer education requested by the community and conducting spontaneous “peer cafés” by the peers. This paper reviews the past progress of the Adolescent Peer Counselor Training Course and the current activities of the peer circle “Happy Life☆PEERS”, “Lily’s Peer”, and “Sunflower’s Peer”, and summarizes issues for the continuation and further development of the activities in the future.departmental bulletin pape
