When You're Struggling, Take a Walk... Dongjak-gu's 'Maeumsanchaek-gil' Created
Dongjak-gu, Look Around When You're Having a Hard Time!... Creating Mental Health Environments on Walking Trails and Apartments
Completion of Mind Walking Trail and Peaceful Mind Apartment... Raising Awareness of Mental Health
Dongjak-gu (Mayor Park Ilha) announced on the 19th that it has created a mental health environment in daily life through the establishment of the Mind Walking Trail and the designation of Peaceful Mind Apartments.
The district installed the 'Mind Walking Trail' along Dongjak Chungyo-gil Course 4, Noryangjin-gil, which connects Yongmasan to Yongmasan Park.
While walking the Mind Walking Trail, visitors can find self-diagnosis tools for depression using standing wooden boards and hanging plaques, information about the Mental Health Center, and hopeful messages for suicide prevention.
The trail is a 3.4 km section with good accessibility, frequently used by many residents, newly developed to allow people to enjoy nature in the city and heal their minds.
Additionally, an apartment located in Daebang-dong was designated as a 'Peaceful Mind Apartment,' with hopeful messages and paintings inserted on the staircases at the entrances of each building.
The phone number of the Mental Health Center, where residents can seek help when counseling is needed for mental health issues, is also posted to encourage easy access and interest among local residents.
The district plans to continuously monitor residents' mental health through the Dongjak-gu Mental Health Center and the Mental Health Welfare Center.
