On May 8th, which was Parents' Day, Jeongeup Disability Comprehensive Welfare Center organized a warm time for elderly people with disabilities by conducting horticultural therapy classes and suicide prevention education.
This program is part of the center's Youth University project, a comprehensive welfare education program for individuals aged 60 and above with physical and intellectual disabilities. The classes on that day included planting carnations under the theme of 'Gratitude Flowerpot' and simultaneous education on preventing suicide in old age, providing participants with emotional stability and inspiration.
An official from the welfare center stated, "In celebration of Parents' Day, we planned a special class to provide emotional support and foster a sense of community" and expressed, "In the future, we will continue to strive for improving the quality of life for elderly people with disabilities through programs that encompass cognitive, psychological, and physical health."
Meanwhile, the Youth University plans to expand learning and communication opportunities through various courses on brain health, mental health, physical health, as well as community engagement activities and graduation trips.
