Abstract

eng. This concept note redefines suicidal risk as an "emotional disaster," highlighting that suicide risk represents not only a psychological condition but a systemic collapse of emotional capital. It emphasizes the need for welfare policy to move beyond material or medical responses toward emotion-centered strategies. Key implications include the development of an Emotional Disaster Index, integration of emotional recovery infrastructures, and establishment of preventive networks. This paradigm aims to reinforce emotional resilience and embed recovery and prevention as central pillars of welfare systems. Open to global co-research on emotional resonance systems and human-centered emotional data infrastructure. 한국어(KR) 본 개념노트는 자살 위험을 “정서적 재난”으로 재정의하며, 이를 단순한 심리·의료 문제가 아닌 정서 자본의 체계적 붕괴로 규정합니다. 복지정책은 물질·의료적 대응을 넘어 정서 중심의 전략으로 확장되어야 함을 강조합니다. 정책적 함의로는 정서 재난 지수 개발, 정서 회복 인프라 통합, 예방 네트워크 구축이 있으며, 이를 통해 정서 회복력 강화와 회복·예방 중심의 복지체계를 구축하고자 합니다.

Title: Redefining Suicidal Risk as an Emotional Disaster: A Conceptual Framework for EmotionalWelfare Policy Abstract This concept note redefines suicidal risk as an “emotional disaster.” Rather than being perceived solely as an individual mental health challenge, suicidal risk is presented as a systemic collapse of emotional capital across individuals, families, and communities. This framing seeks to advance welfare administration by positioning emotional resilience and recovery as essential components of social infrastructure. The approach highlights prevention, early-warning systems, and coordinated responses to strengthen both personal and societal well-being. Main Concept • Suicidal risk should be reframed as an emotional disaster with broad social and policy implications. • Emotional collapse requires national and community-level interventions beyond traditional clinical frameworks. • Policy directions include developing an Emotional Disaster Index, embedding emotional recovery in welfare policy, and building integrated networks for crisis prevention. • This paradigm encourages governments, institutions, and communities to treat emotional resilience as a public priority. This record includes both the English and Korean versions of the concept note for transparency and proof of original authorship.
