Chungnam Province Provides 24-Hour Support for Pregnant Women in Crisis

Cheonan Gusegun Areumduri Designated as 'Chungnam Regional Counseling Center for Pregnant Women in Crisis'

Chungnam Province announced on the 19th that it has designated Gusegun Areumdri, located in Cheonan, as the 'Chungnam Regional Counseling Center for Pregnant Women in Crisis'.

Gusegun Areumdri is a welfare facility for single mothers operated by the Salvation Army Foundation of Korea and has been supporting pregnant women in crisis since 2015.

'Pregnant women in crisis' refers to women who experience crises such as considering giving up childbirth and child-rearing due to financial burdens and social prejudice.

The center provides counseling to help pregnant women give birth and raise their children safely, and supports protective measures such as registering the birth of newborns.

Pregnant women in crisis can receive counseling on childbirth, child-rearing, and child protection at any time, 24 hours a day.

Kim Jongsoo, Director of Women's and Family Policy for the province, said, "We will prioritize supporting the safe childbirth of pregnant women in crisis, and if it is difficult for the biological family to raise the child, we will also provide support for prenatal checkups and childbirth under an alias through medical institutions, as well as adoption and protection of the newborn."
