On the morning of May 4, Nghe An Mental Hospital held the opening ceremony of the Psychological and Mental Health Counseling Switchboard with phone number 1900 561 531. This is an important step forward in taking care of people's mental health, especially the labor force that is under a lot of pressure.
The ceremony took place under the chairmanship of Dr. BSCKII Ho Giang Nam - Director of the Hospital, with the participation of Dr. BS Nguyen Van Thuong - Deputy Director of Nghe An Department of Health; Ms. Tran Le Thi - Vice Chairwoman of the Fatherland Front, Chairwoman of the Ward Trade Union; representatives of the Provincial Labor Federation.
The switchboard 1900 561 531 is deployed with a team of experienced doctors and experts to support people to access psychological and mental counseling services quickly, conveniently and in-depth. In particular, the switchboard absolutely protects personal information - which is very important for workers who are still hesitant to share psychological difficulties at work.
Workers can call the switchboard for advice on issues such as prolonged stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia due to production pressure, work accidents or conflicts in colleague and family relationships. The switchboard also accompanies patients and their families, orienting intervention and appropriate treatment.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Deputy Director of Nghe An Department of Health Nguyen Van Thuong emphasized: "Mental health is the foundation for a happy and sustainable life". This is even more meaningful for the labor force that is contributing to socio-economic development day and night.
Putting the switchboard into operation not only improves the effectiveness of community mental health care but is also a tool to prevent and minimize psychological risks for workers, contributing to building a healthy and sustainable productive working environment.
