Jindo-gun Breathes New Life into Local Community through Mom Gathering Program

‘2024 Happy Bobae Island Mom Gathering’ Program Gains Popularity

Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do is revitalizing the local community by operating the ‘2024 Happy Bobaeseom Mom Meeting Program’ for parents of infants and toddlers and pregnant women.

According to the county on the 10th, this program started in cooperation with the Jindo-gun Family Center, aiming for local mothers who participated in the early life health management project to share childcare information and form social networks through psychological bonds with each other.

The early life health management project involves infant and toddler health nurses visiting homes directly to check health conditions and managing maternal depression in high-risk families, providing psychological and social support.

In the ‘Happy Bobaeseom Mom Meeting,’ mothers with infants and toddlers of similar ages gather to enjoy various activities such as baby massage, tactile play, flower arranging, making jeogori (traditional Korean jackets), prenatal and postnatal care education for pregnant women, and outdoor meetings.

The mom meeting program, currently underway with the second group of participants, gained great interest among mothers during the first program. It is a popular small-scale program that allows participation by 10 pairs of parents with infants aged 3 to 10 months or pregnant women.

A county official said, “Through the Happy Bobaeseom Mom Meeting Program, we provide useful information and communication time for mothers raising infants and toddlers,” adding, “We will further develop various programs for happy parenting.”
