South Korean government to provide ”psychological counseling services” to ”depressed and anxious” citizens from July

Starting in July, South Korean citizens experiencing emotional difficulties such as depression or anxiety will be able to receive professional psychological counseling services provided by the government.
This year, the service will be provided to over 80,000 people who have been certified by specialist institutions as "in need of psychological counseling," with plans to expand the service gradually in the future.
On the 21st, South Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare announced that it will implement the above-mentioned support program starting in July.
This project is one of the main tasks of the "Mental Health Policy Innovation Plan" announced on December 5 last year, and aims to care for the mental health of the nation and prevent the deterioration of mental illness.
The program was established to prevent suicide and suicide attempts. At the time, the Korean government was trying to wipe out the stigma of having the highest suicide rate in the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) by establishing a "Comprehensive Health Program from Prevention to Recovery of Mental Illnesses."
The company has revealed its vision of "managing each stage."
