Ulju-gun Launches Intensive Campaign to Prevent Extreme Choices

Mental Health Welfare Center, Identification of High-Risk Groups and Prevention Promotion

Uljugun Mental Health Welfare Center announced on the 21st that it will conduct intensive promotional activities for prevention during the high-risk period for extreme choices.

According to the center, based on last year's report analyzing the characteristics of deaths in the region due to extreme choices and analyzing trends over the past five years, January, August, and November were identified as the most high-risk months.

During this period, the center will carry out various prevention campaigns, including: distributing QR code flyers to identify high-risk groups; installing banners and flags along major roads and in public places; creating and distributing posters at lifestyle-related facilities such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and banks; and running video and LED light advertisements at Alps Cinema and Uljugun Office.

Additionally, during the Ministry of Health and Welfare-designated suicide-prone period (March to May) and World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10), the center will operate various online events using platforms such as Instagram, Metaverse, and KakaoTalk, as well as the "Are You Okay Mailbox" campaign.

A representative from Uljugun Mental Health Welfare Center said, "As this is a period with a high risk of extreme choices, we will work to foster a culture of respect for life and actively identify high-risk groups through various promotional initiatives."
