[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] "For those who need mental health care"

Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) announced on the 12th that "Many people are experiencing mental difficulties such as lethargy, depression, and stress due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," and "Therefore, we will conduct a 1:1 customized counseling program at the 'Todak Todak Mental Counseling Center' to help residents recover their mind and body."

The counseling program operates at the 'Todak Todak Mental Counseling Center' located in the G-Valley Health Branch Office (Digital-ro 243, Rooms 211 and 212) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.

Professional counselors assess the psychological state of participants using psychological testing tools such as autonomic nervous system stress meters, MBTI, Enneagram, and tarot cards.

Based on the test results, specialized psychological counseling is provided, or connections to mental health welfare centers are made. Each counseling session lasts 50 minutes, with a total of 10 sessions, and additional counseling is possible depending on progress.

Guro-gu plans to operate participatory programs such as horticultural therapy and art psychotherapy once the COVID-19 situation improves.

Those who wish to receive counseling can make a reservation by phone and visit the center on the scheduled date. In addition to in-person counseling, non-face-to-face counseling using the online platform Zoom is also available. All tests and counseling are free of charge.

For residents who find it difficult to use the service during daytime hours, Guro-gu offers night counseling from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. by separate reservation.

A Guro-gu official said, "We hope residents regain psychological stability through the 'Todak Todak Mental Counseling Center,'" and added, "We will strive to ensure counseling proceeds smoothly."
