Taoyuan City's Department of Health has launched a new initiative to bring psychological support directly into communities with the "Tao Hao PASS" mobile counseling vehicle. The service kicked off its operations on November 11 from Changhsiang Temple in Xinwu District, marking the start of its tour across five administrative districts.

The mobile unit is designed to offer convenient and immediate mental health services to residents. The health department noted that religious venues, such as temples, are often central gathering places for many citizens, making them ideal locations to connect with people needing support.

This program aims to break down barriers to mental healthcare by meeting people where they are. By deploying a dedicated vehicle and partnering with community hubs, Taoyuan City seeks to foster a more accessible and responsive mental health support network for its residents.
