‘Absolutely Insufficient’: How Data Restrictions and Funding Constraints Hamper South Korea’s Suicide Prevention Efforts’ 이 20분 분량의 타임 기사는 대한민국이 자살예방을 위해 큰 개선이 필요하다는 중요한 메시지를 담고 있습니다.
[기사의 시작]
On the sixth floor of an office building in the heart of Seoul, eight students strolled into their workplace in a well-ordered procession. After dutifully removing their shoes in the narrow entryway, they trod across the room, then crowded together on a few stone-gray couches. A semi-gloss poster taped to the wall behind their heads proclaimed: “Mental Health Matters.”
These students, all of whom have experienced their own mental health challenges, are peer specialists at Mental Health Korea, a nonprofit network of over 300 high school and university students across South Korea. After completing a training program, peer specialists connect at-risk youth to crisis resources, mentor peers experiencing similar challenges, draw up mental health awareness-raising initiatives, and advocate for policy changes.
“We get a lot of messages from people who say they’re struggling,” Jeongbin Park, a 17-year-old peer specialist, told TIME, adding that in South Korea, talk of mental health is typically met with backlash. “We’re trying to change that.”
That change can’t come soon enough.
