[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 9th that starting in April, it will support cultural and emotional projects to help people with disabilities and their families overcome COVID-19 blues.

This project was prepared to relieve stress such as depression and lethargy among people with disabilities who have been refraining from going out and living at home due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Five organizations, including the Gyeongnam Spinal Cord Injury Association Jinju Branch, will provide programs such as ▲psychological therapy projects ▲visiting picture stories ▲raising companion plants ▲making various crafts.

In addition, efforts are being made to help people with disabilities overcome COVID-19 blues through various approaches such as video calls, SNS, and videos, and when face-to-face meetings are necessary, they are conducted in strict compliance with quarantine rules.

A city official said, “This project, prepared to encourage leisure activities for the physical and emotional development of people with disabilities who have been withdrawn due to COVID-19, hopes that users will enjoy a pleasant life at home,” and added, “We will continue to develop and provide various projects for people with disabilities.”
