[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam, is providing on-site psychological counseling services for employees.

The city will conduct a 'Visiting Mental Health Checkup' at the Haeon Psychological Counseling Room on the first floor of the main government building for two weeks from the 27th to October 8th, for employees who find it difficult to visit the counseling center.

The checkup includes a brief mental health diagnostic test, autonomic nervous system test, Mind-In test, and intensive counseling upon the employee's request.

Since August this year, the city has expanded its operation by outsourcing employee psychological counseling to a professional counseling company, providing services either by employees visiting external centers or counselors visiting the city hall.

Additionally, a program is regularly operated every Wednesday at the city hall counseling room, allowing employees to receive counseling at their preferred time.
