[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] The Ulsan Ulju-gun Public Health Center's mobile psychological support service, the "Mind Relief Bus," which operates to overcome depression and stress caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, is receiving great response from the residents.

The Ulju-gun Public Health Center has been fully operating the Mind Relief Bus this year, providing psychological support services to a total of 1,185 people so far.

Selected as a project by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Mind Relief Bus began its first operation on December 29 last year. It was established to help residents suffering from anxiety, depression, and stress during the prolonged COVID-19 situation by supporting their mental health and psychological recovery.

The bus is staffed by an operation team composed of mental health professionals from the Ulju-gun Mental Health Welfare Center, nurses, and other specialists. They provide services such as mental health assessments, stress tests using HRV (stress brainwave measurement devices), mind healing through brain training equipment, and psychological counseling.

Additionally, customized psychological support services are provided based on counseling results, and high-risk groups are assisted with treatment connections to specialized institutions, resulting in high user satisfaction with the mental health services.

The head of the public health center stated, “Due to Ulju-gun’s wide geographical characteristics, it is difficult for some residents to receive quality mental health services. We will do our best to help stabilize the residents’ mental health by operating the Mind Relief Bus.”
