Road Corporation Recruiting Participants for Psychological Therapy for Expressway Accident Victims

Korea Expressway Corporation’s Expressway Scholarship Foundation announced on the 25th that it will recruit participants for the psychological therapy program "Anadeurim" for highway accident victims and their families from the 26th until the 4th of next month.

"Anadeurim" is a program designed to help victims and their families who experience psychological difficulties after an accident to find emotional stability and restore family relationships. Participants can receive customized psychological therapy and career counseling to overcome accident trauma through phone, video, and in-person consultations from March to October. Among the 23 participants last year, 12 experienced positive psychological changes, and 80% of respondents said the program was helpful.

Highway scholarship recipients and their families who wish to participate can take an online test via a pre-sent text message. Accident victims who meet the highway scholarship recipient criteria can also download the application form from the Expressway Scholarship Foundation website and submit it via email.
