In order to reduce parenting stress and burden of child-rearing, Daegu-Gyeongbuk branch and Daegu City are launching ‘2024 Youth Parenting Center’ targeting young parents(ages 20~39) who have limited access to offline activities and parenting information.

The center's primary role is to provide parenting support, – parenting education, counseling, and parent meetings – parenting information, parenting stress scaling tests and consultations.

The center runs customized programs for children that supports different aspects of childhood development - physical development, cognitive function, and learning ability. It also provides programs for parents that encourage physical and mental development of their children and raise confidence and foster positive motivation on parenting.

The communication spaces for young parents are also created by the center both online and offline. With young parents relieving parenting stress and exchanging parenting experience with each other, provided spaces are expected to act as self-mentoring hubs.

On the healthcare side, tests such as parenting attitude test(PAT), Korean-Parenting Stress Index(K-PSI), Korean-Child Status Index(K-CSI) are available at the center. Based on the test results, expert counselling for parental guidance are conducted.

To prevent children from getting recently increasing allergic disease, the center operates the early diagnosis and caring system for allergic diseases(atopy, asthma, etc.) and provides 118 types of allergy tests. These services will also help reduce medical expenditure burdens resulting from the disease.

Hye-Sook Oh, Director of Daegu-Gyeongbuk Branch said, “We expect to relieve parenting pressure of young parents by providing self-help group programs, tailored education, and expert counseling programs. We ask for your attention and active participation.”
