Qingdao Anshan road police station has a different policeman: tall and burly, but delicate in mind. His main business is not catching criminals, but paying attention to the growth of teenagers. He is a "psychologist" in the eyes of colleagues and a "police dad" in the eyes of children.
His name is Kang Long. In 20 12, the "Kanglong Wenxin Studio" named after him was formally established in Anshan Road Police Station in Qingdao. This is the first work unit in Qingdao led by public security and supported by psychological research and consultation institutions.
In the past three years, with the insistence of the Kanglong team, the studio has grown from a community bungalow with a size of several square meters, three or four volunteer teachers and more than 20 psychological counselors to a mature public welfare organization with 8 branches, 2,207 registered volunteers and 37 1 professional staff.
"At first, I didn't think about how big it would be in the future." Kang Long said frankly that the establishment of the studio was originally an attempt of police innovation in Anshan Road Police Station.
"In order to fundamentally reduce juvenile delinquency and guide them to the right path, psychological counseling and encouragement are essential. Only by truly understanding teenagers and turning their negative emotions into positive energy through professional means is an important part of juvenile crime prevention. " Kang Long, then an amateur psychologist, began to focus on how to effectively prevent juvenile delinquency in the studio.
For him, every case he has experienced in the past three years has impressed him deeply, and every child is the focus of attention.
Xiaohua (a pseudonym) has many shadows of people who ask for help. Xiaohua, 15 years old, is studying in a vocational college. She met Xiaohong (a pseudonym), a long-distance girl, on the Internet a year ago, and soon fell in love. Before long, Xiaohong came to see him from other places. Xiaohua's parents strongly disagreed because he was still young. In a rage, Xiaohua left home with Xiaohong. As neither of them has a stable source of income, life soon got into trouble. One day, Xiaohua was caught stealing in an Internet cafe.
Xiaohua was exempted from criminal punishment because he was a minor, but this experience cast a lingering shadow on Xiaohua's heart.
After talking with Xiaohua for half a year, Kang Long learned that Xiaohua's parents were away on business all the year round and neglected to listen to and pay attention to their children, which led to psychological estrangement between parents and children and eventually led to intensified contradictions.
Kang Long firmly believes that "children are inherently good". After a period of psychological counseling and participation in helping activities, Xiaohua not only slowly walked out of the shadows, but also showed her desire to express, affinity and leadership in psychological group activities, which made her parents and staff feel gratified.
In the past three years, Kang Long and his team have received various psychological help for more than 20,000 times, and adopted the "warm-hearted consultation method" service to file 609 cases. The original psychology lover has gradually become a "psychologist" in everyone's eyes.
Kanglong admits that he has always hoped to make the "Kanglong Wenxin Studio" project an uninterrupted service system.
In his view, the psychological prevention and behavior correction of juvenile delinquency is a wide-ranging, difficult and long-term work: "It cannot be completed by one person or several people, nor can it be completed by one department or several departments."
Therefore, Kanglong draws lessons from the concept and practice of "big community" in American service system for children and adolescents, and puts forward "1+2 warm-hearted counseling method" through research pilots: 1 chief psychological counselor (for individual adolescents), 1 parent psychological counselor (for family therapy), 1 auxiliary psychological counselor (for peers)
Compared with today's fame, Kang Long and his psychological studio are not smooth sailing: lack of funds, embarrassing volunteer status, and slow acceptance by the public-all of which lead to their slow progress at first, and a case even takes years to solve.
At the beginning of the project, not everyone was optimistic about his team, and there was even a voice of "inaction".
"Although the project is public welfare and its work performance is good, it is often evaluated as' doing good deeds' and has long been in a' non-mainstream' position." As the project leader, Kang Long admits that there is also great pressure behind selfless dedication.
Even so, Kang Long was never satisfied. He keeps learning psychological knowledge, and constantly initiates various psychological salons, lectures and activities for the vast campus and community with the team, constantly enriching himself and the team, and gradually entering the public and gaining trust. At present, Kanglong's "Warm Heart Plan" has been recognized by Shibei Public Security Bureau and promoted at the regional level.
Kang Long is undoubtedly a good father in life. Looking through Kang Long's WeChat circle of friends, we can find that he is a full-fledged "dazzling child family", and he will pay attention to recording his son's growth. He nicknamed his son a "white mouse" and often "grafted" the insights gained from getting along with his son into the practice of "warm heart plan".
From "entertaining yourself" to doing good deeds to combining social needs with your own interests.
