[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Mental Health Welfare Center of Gijang-gun Public Health Center signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the LH5 Complex Apartments in Jeonggwan-eup and its residents to promote mental health and prevent suicide.

Through this agreement, the Mental Health Welfare Center of Gijang-gun Public Health Center will conduct a comprehensive mental health survey for residents of the LH5 Complex Apartments in Jeonggwan-eup.

They are also promoting various health promotion projects such as severe case management for the welfare of mental illness patients and counseling, campaigns, and education to prevent mental health problems among residents.

The Public Health Center actively promoted the "Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Suicide Prevention Project" to foster a culture of respect for life and prevent suicide within the jurisdiction, receiving the Minister of Health and Welfare Award and being selected as an excellent institution in 2020.

A representative of the Mental Health Welfare Center at Gijang-gun Public Health Center said, “We will do our best to actively cooperate with related organizations to operate various mental health programs for the promotion of residents’ mental health.”
