Guro-gu 'Emergency Care Worker' Training Program

May 28 Hwawon General Social Welfare Center Hosts Graduation Ceremony for 'Guro-style Emergency Care Caregiver Training'

Guro-gu (District Mayor Moon Heon-il) held a graduation ceremony on the afternoon of the 28th at the auditorium of Hwawon Comprehensive Social Welfare Center for the training of Guro-type emergency care caregivers.

'Guro-type emergency care' is a project unique to Guro-gu, where the district establishes a public-private cooperation system with Hwawon Comprehensive Social Welfare Center and Gung-dong Comprehensive Social Welfare Center to provide care services to residents who temporarily require urgent care.

Those who complete the self-developed training course can work as care caregivers. So far, the district has conducted three training sessions?two in 2021 and one in 2022?training a total of 55 care caregivers.

This time, 25 caregivers completed the training. From May 14, they completed a total of six sessions covering practical care skills that can be applied in the field.

In particular, this year’s training program was designed around the activity cases of currently active care caregivers to enhance the effectiveness of the education.

After the graduation ceremony, the care caregivers will volunteer to provide services such as accompaniment, laundry, and emotional support to elderly, disabled, and mobility-impaired neighbors in need of care within the district.

The district plans to continuously conduct care caregiver training to activate 'mutual care,' where residents help residents, and to strengthen Guro-gu’s care capabilities.

Moon Heon-il, Mayor of Guro-gu, stated, “We will continue to promote various care programs reflecting the characteristics of the local community and do our best to ensure that no blind spots in care exist.”
