Suwon Urban Corporation Family Women Center Launches "Menopausal Middle-Aged Support Program"

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Lee Min-jung] The Suwon Family Women Center, operated by the Suwon Urban Corporation (President Lee Young-in), has launched initiatives to support self-care and emotional recovery for Suwon citizens experiencing menopause.

According to the corporation on the 19th, the Suwon Family Women Center will implement a menopausal middle-aged support program with the theme of "The Second Spring of My Life" starting from the 5th of next month.

Menopause involves physical and mental changes, including memory decline and depression, caused by a sharp decrease in hormone secretion. Symptoms can appear from the 40s onwards in both men and women.

The middle-aged self-care program, which provides various educational and professional counseling services, is targeted at Suwon residents.

The program will be held twice: in March (1st session) and September (2nd session), with each session recruiting 30 people.

The eight-session program consists of psychological stabilization communication education through journaling and drawing, group psychology specialist counseling and employment counseling, gongfu exercise and jazz dance classes, and social contribution activities.

Applications for the 1st session can be submitted through the corporation's website until the 4th of next month.

President Lee Young-in stated, "We have prepared this program to help middle-aged people recover their mental health," and added, "We hope that through this program, middle age becomes a new source of vitality."
