[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korea Forest Welfare Institute announced on the 7th that from this month until June, it will operate a forest prenatal education program called ‘First Communication in the Forest’ for pregnant women at the National Forest Healing Center in Bonghyeon-myeon, Yeongju-si, Gyeongbuk.

The forest prenatal education program is a type of non-face-to-face forest welfare service for pregnant women, who are a high-risk group for COVID-19. It is conducted as the first stage of lifecycle forest welfare services to form attachment to the fetus and support healthy childbirth by relieving stress for pregnant women.

The main programs include ▲ Healing stories with tea (making ultrasound tree frames · healing art stories) ▲ Forest in my hand (prenatal stretching · massage) ▲ Thump thump two hearts (forest yoga · taedam meditation) ▲ Healing on and off (self-guided forest trail exploration).

The Forest Welfare Institute plans to conduct the program over a total of five sessions. The total number of participants is 30, targeting residents of the Yecheon area.
