Korea’s Health Ministry Seeks Bids for 2026 Mental Health Family Support Program

The Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) has announced a call for participating organizations for its 2026 support program aimed at family organizations dedicated to assisting individuals with mental health conditions.

Issued by the Minister of Health and Welfare on April 1, 2026, the announcement invites relevant organizations to submit proposals for the “2026 Mental Illness Patient Family Organization Support Project.” This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to strengthening support networks for mental health patients and their families across the nation.

While the initial public notice serves as an open invitation, comprehensive details regarding eligibility criteria, the application process, and specific submission deadlines are outlined in the full project plan. Interested family organizations or related bodies are strongly encouraged to refer to the complete official announcement, which includes detailed attachments in HWPX and PDF formats, for all necessary information to participate.

The MOHW, a central government body responsible for public health and social welfare policies in South Korea, regularly implements programs to enhance the quality of life for vulnerable populations, including those affected by mental health challenges and their support systems.
