Discussion from Various Field Practitioners on 'Is the Response to Social Isolation Sufficient?'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Welfare Foundation announced on the 29th that it will hold the '2022 2nd Seoul Social Isolation Support Forum' to create a public discussion platform addressing social isolation in Seoul.

Under the theme "Is the response to social isolation sufficient? From the perspective of field practitioners," this forum will be held from the 29th at the Seoul Public Interest Activity Space Samgakji and will be live-streamed on the foundation's YouTube channel, allowing any citizens interested in social isolation support to watch.

At the forum, Kim Gi-gon, team leader of Nowon-gu Office in Seoul, and Lee Yoo-jung, team leader of Junggok Comprehensive Social Welfare Center, will discuss public and private efforts to identify socially isolated households. Jung Su-mi, director of Gangnam-gu One-Person Household Community Center, and Yoon Jang-gi, director of Cheongju Sannam 2 My Home Center of the Housing Management Corporation, will present practical cases supporting socially isolated households.

The final presentation will be given by Cho Yoo-sung, manager of the Saenghwal Club Baram Village, who will share Japan's efforts to create communities where no one is isolated. In the subsequent comprehensive discussion, participants will debate from the perspective of field practitioners whether we are sufficiently identifying and supporting socially isolated households.

Kim Sang-chul, CEO of the Seoul Welfare Foundation, said, "I hope this forum will be an opportunity to review the response processes of field practices that have identified and supported socially isolated households in the community and to explore various activities."

Meanwhile, this social isolation support forum was planned to discuss various perspectives from related stakeholders on preventing lonely deaths and social isolation. Starting with the 1st policy researchers' forum in March, the 2nd forum for field practitioners will be held this June, and the 3rd forum from the perspective of local residents is scheduled for September 28.
