Busan Buk-gu Offers ‘Mental Health Promotion and Healing Education for Self-Sufficiency Workers’

[Financial News] Busan Buk-gu said on the 15th that it had held “Mindfulness: Today, I’ll Start with Myself,” a stress management and empathetic communication training session, at the district office on the 12th for around 100 participants in its self-sufficiency work program.
The training was organized to help participants effectively manage stress experienced in daily life and at work, understand their own and others’ emotions, and foster a culture of mutual respect and communication.
Participants included people in self-sufficiency programs run directly by the district office, such as welfare aide work and park facility management, as well as participants in the Nuri Dream and Hae Dream project teams at the Buk-gu Regional Self-Sufficiency Center and the Buk-gu Huimangteo Regional Self-Sufficiency Center.
The program included activities in mindfulness to explore the causes of stress and ways to manage it, and reflect on their own emotions, as well as communication techniques for considering another person’s perspective and showing empathy. Participants spent meaningful time looking after their own well-being, understanding one another with their colleagues, and building positive relationships.
Buk-gu Mayor Jeong Myeong-hee said, “I hope participants in the self-sufficiency program will find vitality in their daily lives and at work with healthy minds, and build a warm community where they care for and respect one another.” She added, “I will continue working to look after participants’ mental well-being and create a stable work environment.”
