[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Gijang-gun is operating support programs such as the ‘Saero Project’ and the ‘Self-Harm Scar Removal Service’ to enhance the responsiveness to situations faced by at-risk youth and help them form a stable and healthy self-identity.

This project is part of the Gijang-gun Youth Safety Net initiative.

Five local youths experiencing psychological and emotional difficulties due to self-harm scars are selected to receive customized services including scar removal and professional psychological counseling at Gijang-gun’s partner hospitals.

The support targets at-risk youths aged 9 to 24 residing in Gijang-gun who wish to have their self-harm scars removed, with priority given to low-income and vulnerable youths.

Applications can be submitted by the institutions to which the youths belong via official documents by July 8, or youths can apply in person or by email.

Detailed information and application forms are available on the Gijang-gun website under the announcements section.

A representative of the Gijang-gun Youth Safety Net said, “We hope that through this project, youths can move beyond the psychological and emotional hardships of their past and start a stable and hopeful new daily life.”
