The 'Developmental Disability Family Emotional Support Camp' was designed to alleviate the psychological and emotional burdens that families with developmental disabilities experience in everyday life and to help family members take a break and recharge.


This program is operated using funds accumulated separately from 0.5% of the initial premium of the KB Precious Children Insurance. KB Insurance has been continuously running this program in partnership with the National Parents' Association for Disabled People since 2022. Approximately 400 people participate in the camp each year, and including this year's participants, the total number of participants has reached around 2,000 to date.


This year's first session of the camp, out of a total of four scheduled for 2026, was held at the Central Youth Training Center in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do. From May 8 to 10, 17 families and around 100 people participated. The program provided parents with a chance to relax and recover from the stresses of daily life, while children with disabilities were able to take part in a variety of activities in a stable environment with the support of specialists from the Korean Association of Occupational Therapists.


In particular, the program was designed so that non-disabled siblings could not only interact with their peers, but also spend quality time with their parents—a time that might have been relatively insufficient due to the parents' focus on their children with disabilities.



Kim Gyudong, Head of ESG Win-Win Finance Unit at KB Insurance, said, "The Developmental Disability Family Emotional Support Camp is a program that helps families stay together, let go of daily stress, and reflect on one another," adding, "We will continue to carry out ongoing social contribution activities so that families with developmental disabilities can experience meaningful support and recovery in their daily lives."
