The ‘Youth Counseling Center’ is a project aimed at alleviating depression and loneliness and enhancing psychological resilience among young people in their 20s and 30s, who are at increased risk of depression and suicidal thoughts due to the rise of single-person households, economic recession, and difficulties in academics and employment.

This event featured five mental health content zones: a promotional hall, mental health experience hall, stress relief hall, counseling hall, and communication hall. It was conducted through various programs such as mental health self-assessment and counseling, hidden word search related to mental health, stress relief experiences, and a coffee truck.

Participants identified as high-risk through mental health screening will receive continuous counseling through monitoring.

Kwon Jun-gyeong, director of Seonsan Health Center, said, “I hope this mobile counseling center provided young people struggling with academics and employment an opportunity to take care of their mental health on their own and to realize the importance of mental health promotion.”
