The Gyeongnam Haman-gun Mental Health Welfare Center is conducting a physical activity program to prevent depression among elderly individuals living alone in Gaya-eup from the 7th of this month until October 30th.

This physical activity program for preventing elderly depression is being promoted to support the subsequent self-help group activities of the elderly after the completion of the ‘7080 Holoreosin Body Rest·Mind Rest Happiness Garden Creation’ program, aiming to expand the sense of belonging and bonds among group members and maintain continuous social relationships.
