Siam Paragon shooting prompts new mental health unit

[webfact]

 

A new mental health consultation unit, established to assist individuals emotionally distressed by the recent fatal shooting in Siam Paragon, started operations yesterday. The tragic incident, involving a teenage boy who killed two women, left many feeling traumatised and in need of psychological support.

 

Amporn Benjaponpitak, the leading authority of the Department of Mental Health, revealed that she, along with her team, was tasked by Cholnan Srikaew, the Public Health Minister, and Dr Opas Karnkawinpong, the permanent secretary for health, to provide necessary aid to those adversely affected by the horrific event.

 

Positioned on Siam Paragon’s M floor, the unit will remain operative for a week, from 9am to 8pm, catering to anyone seeking help. To further extend their support, the department store plans to circulate SMS messages to those present at the scene, offering information about the mental health services available, including psychological assessments.

What a great location.

I am sure people who are stressed about that event will be happy to go back to the scene to receive help. Or maybe not?

I'll be sure to visit when I get over my PTSD and neuropsychosis.

I work on the principle that everyone here is mentally ill, unless proven otherwise.

Wait until they claim he was on cannabis as an excuse to recriminalize it.
