|
Gangdong-gu, Seoul, announced on the 25th that as the number of residents complaining of depression and lethargy arising from the prolonged corona19 effect, it will expand the guidance of help organizations and intensively manage high-risk groups in the high-risk season of the spring. The spring season from March to May is a high-risk time when suicide rates are increasing worldwide. Seasonal factors such as increased sunlight, pollen, and fine dust in spring can lead to recurrence of insomnia, relative deprivation, and depression.In particular, in Korea, the relatively low suicide rate in winter tends to increase in spring due to factors such as graduation and job hunting. . Spring is a dangerous time due to environmental factors, so anyone can suffer psychologically. Residents in need of assistance can get help from help organizations such as △Gangdong-gu Suicide Prevention Center △Gangdong-gu Mental Health Welfare Center △1393. The former health center provides information on help organizations through apartment media boards, outdoor billboards, and LED electronic bulletin boards. In areas with a large floating population in the hall, we plan to promote the installation of banners and distributing leaflets so that more residents can receive help. In addition, the Gangdong-gu Mental Health Welfare Center provides additional greeting text messages and telephone counseling services to registered members of the center, and focuses on high-risk groups through personalized counseling and regional resource linkage services according to the risk level after screening for depression to the targets linked to the center. . Mayor Lee Jung hun said, “If you find your own psychological safety zone, such as space, activities, and people where you can get rest or comfort when you are tired and tired, it will help you gain psychological stability.” “Spring is an important time when the risk of suicide increases. As such, I hope that those who are experiencing psychological difficulties should seek counseling through a help organization, and to overcome the high-risk period together through a word of warm interest and encouragement to neighbors in need.” |
