This distribution aims to enable both residents and tourists to naturally encounter suicide prevention messages in their daily lives by targeting restaurants that are frequently visited.

The disposable aprons are printed with the suicide prevention counseling hotline (109) and the contact information for the Ulleung County Mental Health Welfare Center, providing guidance so that anyone can quickly access counseling and support in crisis situations.

Eligible businesses can visit the Mental Health Welfare Center on the third floor of the Ulleung County Health Medical Center to collect the aprons. In addition to this apron distribution, the center plans to continue promoting a culture of respect for life through resident participation programs such as operating a suicide prevention promotional booth and the 'Ma-eum-Itda' online walking campaign.

County Governor Nam Han-gwon said, "I hope that the small messages on these disposable aprons will help protect the hearts of residents and tourists," adding, "Ulleung County will work together with residents to widely spread a culture of respect for life and create a safe and warm local community."
