Discussion on New Welfare Policies for Post-COVID-19... Launching 'Mental Health Planner Project' to Overcome Community Mental Health Crisis

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) held a communication meeting on the 10th at the district office's planning situation room with six district welfare planners to overcome welfare crises in the post-COVID-19 era through on-site communication.

The communication meeting began when Mayor Kim Mi-kyung, who leads the district administration with the belief that "the answer lies in the field," met with district welfare planners who are working hard on the front lines of welfare, which has become more challenging due to COVID-19.

This communication meeting was organized as part of establishing new welfare policies in preparation for the post-COVID-19 era, based on the vivid experiences of the welfare planners.

At the communication session held that day, many candid discussions took place regarding the difficulties faced by social welfare public officials in performing their duties and the improvement of their working environment.

The welfare planners eagerly proposed many ideas applicable on-site to create a non-face-to-face environment.

In particular, on September 10, ‘Suicide Prevention Day,’ the development direction of the ‘Mental Health Planner Project,’ a new project promoted by Eunpyeong-gu, was discussed in depth.

The ‘Mental Health Planner’ will play a role in preventing extreme choices by providing proactive support to individuals in mental health crises within the local community.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, “We will ensure that employees who take care of residents’ lives in the welfare field can work with pride during difficult times,” adding, “Together, we will seek a more suitable form of welfare after COVID-19 and do our best for mental welfare.”
