[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] The Jungnang Disabled Family Support Center has relocated and expanded.

Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) held an opening ceremony on the 13th for the Jungnang Disabled Family Support Center, which was relocated and expanded to Sinnae-dong to enhance the welfare of families with disabled members.

The Jungnang Disabled Family Support Center, which opened in November last year, provides various programs such as information provision for families with disabled members, emergency care, professional family counseling, and family rest support, along with practical information needed in daily life.

The new location is 121.66㎡, approximately 2.4 times larger than the previous 50㎡, and includes various spaces such as lecture rooms, counseling rooms, and multipurpose rooms.

In addition, various programs for families with disabled members have been prepared, including crisis family support, dispatch of peer counselors, therapeutic counseling support, learning and various cultural experience activities for non-disabled siblings, and the establishment of a support network for families with disabled members.

Moreover, to accommodate transportation-vulnerable individuals who have difficulty moving, a "free shuttle bus for the elderly and other transportation-vulnerable groups" is also operated, enhancing convenience for residents visiting the center.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, "Through this expanded reopening, I hope the Jungnang Disabled Family Support Center will become a hub for information exchange that embraces and connects all disabled individuals," adding, "We will continue to reflect your voices and establish and implement policies that meet the perspectives of disabled people."
