Naju-si Installs 8 'Life Love Logojectors' for Suicide Prevention

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Han-hyeok] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 26th that it has installed eight 'Life Love Logo Projectors' at eight locations, including high suicide risk areas and places with heavy foot traffic such as bus terminals and parks, to raise awareness about suicide and promote a culture of respect for life.

A 'logo projector' is a landscape lighting device that uses LEDs (light-emitting diodes) to project specific phrases or images onto floors or walls.

In addition, the colors and images (letters) stand out well in dark environments, making the message delivery highly effective, and it is expected to have a strong promotional effect in suicide prevention by encouraging people to protect their precious lives.

The suicide prevention phrases, along with the suicide prevention counseling phone number, consist of four messages: ▲ You are not alone ▲ It’s hard alone, but together it’s okay ▲ Pat pat, you’ve been through a lot, haven’t you? ▲ You are the most precious being in the world. These messages automatically change at intervals of about 7 to 10 seconds.

A health center official said, “Citizen interest and participation are important for suicide prevention, which has emerged as a serious social issue,” adding, “We hope that the Life Love Logo Projectors will help spread a culture of respect for life and serve as an opportunity to reduce the suicide rate.”

He continued, “If you have difficult-to-talk-about concerns such as depression or if you have family or acquaintances going through hardships, you can receive 24-hour expert counseling through suicide counseling phone lines and suicide prevention hotlines.”
