Junggu District in Seoul is operating a variety of rehabilitation programs for people with severe mental illnesses at the Junggu Mental Health Welfare Center every Monday through Friday, supporting emotional healing and a return to daily life.
The rehabilitation programs at the Junggu Mental Health Welfare Center include art and music therapy, sock yarn crafts, and rehabilitation exercise. Through these programs, participants can experience emotional stability and healing, and also receive social adaptation training through interaction with other participants.
