Suwon Urban Development Corporation Selects 'Grief Counseling Service' at Suwon Yeonhwa Park as Exemplary Proactive Administration Case

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Suwon Urban Development Corporation (President Huh Jung-moon) announced on the 24th that the 'Grief Counseling Service' at Suwon Yeonhwa Park has been selected as an 'exemplary case' in the Suwon City '2024 Second Half Proactive Administration Competition.'

The competition consists of a first preliminary round combining written screening and online preference voting, followed by a second final screening by the Proactive Administration Committee. As a result of the evaluation, Yeonhwa Park's 'Grief Counseling Service' was selected as an 'excellent' case in the collaborative agency division.

The grief counseling service has been implemented since April as the first nationwide service at public funeral facilities to provide psychological healing through professional counseling for those who have lost loved ones and acquaintances.

In a separate space called the 'Heart Counseling Room,' bereaved families and mourners receive one-on-one or group counseling sessions with professional psychologists. To date, approximately 30 bereaved family members and mourners have utilized the service.

President Huh Jung-moon stated, "We will do our best to provide high-quality services through various proactive administrative initiatives."
