The UNICEF Korea Committee has introduced a chatbot called 'My Mind Guide' to support youth mental health, marking the first anniversary of its global partnership with the group Tomorrow X Together (TXT).
On October 10, World Mental Health Day, the UNICEF Korea Committee announced the launch of the chatbot on October 12.
'My Mind Guide' is an interactive digital tool designed to help teenagers understand and express their emotions and seek help from peers or professionals when needed.
Users can explore their feelings and learn stress management techniques through a step-by-step conversation. The chatbot covers four topics: 'Emotion Check-In,' 'Relationships 101,' 'Online Life Check,' and 'Balance Toolbox,' providing guidance on mental health management in various situations.
The chatbot is based on the HAT toolkit, a youth mental health promotion and prevention guideline developed jointly by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF, and the UNICEF mental health framework. It also offers information on how to access professional counseling and support when needed.
