Bucheon Ojeong Police Station has established an innovative support system to assist the psychological recovery of crime victims. On the 28th, the police announced that they would partner with the digital mental healthcare company 'Mabo' to provide psychological healing services to victims of relationship crimes, regardless of time and place.
This agreement is a new attempt by Bucheon Ojeong Police Station to strengthen the protection of socially vulnerable individuals. In the existing victim support system, many victims frequently declined connections to specialized institutions due to a lack of "time availability." To overcome these practical barriers, the police introduced a support method through a digital platform that is accessible anytime and anywhere.
Founded in 2018, 'Mabo' is a leading domestic mental healthcare company with 800,000 app downloads and 510,000 user feedback data to date. It is a verified partner that has already established cooperative relationships with various public institutions, including the Seoul City Independent Support Agency and the Sejong City Mental Health Center.
Through this agreement, crime victims will be able to access approximately 900 mindfulness content for free for three months. Victims can participate in meditation and psychological stabilization programs at their desired time and place, helping them recover from trauma.
Yoo Jeong-eun, the CEO of Mabo, expressed her commitment to support victims in regaining balance in their lives through the tool of meditation.
Lee Gyu-hwan, the chief of Bucheon Ojeong Police Station, stated, "Helping victims recover their daily lives is as important as apprehending criminals," and added, "I hope this agreement will provide practical help for the psychological stability and social reintegration of victims."
The introduction of this digital healing service is an example of how the police's victim protection paradigm is expanding from ensuring physical safety to supporting psychological recovery, and it may be applied to various crime victim support in the future. Healing News Editor Oh Ji-hyun
