Gurye-gun Installs Life-Love Signboards at Public Institutions and High-Rise Buildings

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Mi-seok] Gurye-gun announced on the 17th that it installed Life Love signs at public institutions and high-rise buildings in the area to promote suicide prevention and a life-respecting social atmosphere.

The county viewed the installation of automatic door openers on rooftop access doors in public places or high-rise buildings as helpful for suicide prevention, and completed additional installation of Life Love signs after inspecting and managing rooftop access doors at four public institutions and six apartment complexes in the area.

Currently, 56 Life Love signs are attached to bridges and high-rise buildings, containing 24-hour crisis counseling phone numbers, counseling information from the Gurye-gun Mental Health Welfare Center, and the phrase "You are a precious person" to enable immediate help requests in suicide crisis situations.

The Gurye-gun Mental Health Welfare Center has formed and operates a mental emergency intervention council for suicide prevention, manages registered high-risk suicide cases, runs suicide prevention programs, and strives to raise social interest in vulnerable mental health groups and high-risk suicide groups, as well as to create an environment for mental health promotion.

Kim Soon-ho, the governor of Gurye-gun, stated, "Social interest in high-risk groups such as suicide attempters and bereaved families is important," and added, "We will expand the role of the Mental Health Welfare Center to build a tightly knit social safety net through public-private cooperation so that everyone can live in a happy society."
