[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan County, Jeonnam (Governor Kim San) announced on the 16th that from the 19th of last month to the 13th, it operated the youth mental health promotion program ‘Todak Todak MindUP Classroom’ for 247 participants at 12 local children's centers within the county.

This program was designed to help youth relieve everyday life, academic, and interpersonal relationship stress through aroma healing therapy and art therapy, fostering social skills and self-esteem.

In particular, the time spent making personalized handkerchiefs through natural dyeing received great responses from participating children, as they applied their own colors and created patterns in ways they had not experienced before.

Additionally, a standardized smartphone addiction test was conducted concurrently, and based on the survey results, high-risk children are managed secondarily by the county, actively promoting child and youth mental health enhancement projects.

A county official stated, “We will continue to discover and operate various mental health promotion programs tailored to the characteristics of youth growth stages, doing our best to support our local youth to grow into healthy members of society.”
