Seo-gu also operates an online accessible mental diagnosis program at all times through a specialized Employee Assistance Program (EAP) institution.

Individual psychological counseling services are also provided for high-risk stress groups or employees who wish to receive them.

Starting in September, Seo-gu plans to operate a 'Visiting Expert Counseling Service' targeting administrative welfare centers and civil service departments with high fatigue levels due to malicious complaints and public service tasks.

Kim Ikang, Mayor of Seo-gu, said, "Creating a workplace culture where employees can work happily and excitedly without stress or work burden will lead to increased trust in administration and improved quality of service," adding, "We will continue to operate various programs that protect employees' mental health from their perspective."
