The photo exhibition will display award-winning works from the "Warm Care Photo Contest for Long-Term Care Workers" and, in anticipation of Elder Abuse Prevention Day (June 15), the winning entries from the "Elder Abuse Prevention Day Commemorative Elder Human Rights Photo Contest."

The mobile counseling center will provide specialized consultations for government employees on how to use the long-term care insurance system, operating from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. during the event period.

Lee Eunsuk, Director of Elderly Welfare at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "With the increase in the elderly population in Gyeonggi Province, long-term care workers play a vital role as professionals providing quality services in the field of elderly care. As the long-term care insurance system functions as an essential safety net in our society, we ask for warm social interest and support."

Meanwhile, the Gyeonggi Long-Term Care Worker Support Center carries out various initiatives to protect the rights and strengthen the capacities of long-term care workers, including caregiver education, labor and psychological counseling, support for self-help groups, and awareness improvement campaigns.
