Jeonnam Social Service Institute Conducts Capacity Building Training for Welfare Practitioners

Integrated Case Management Training for 22 Cities and Counties

The Jeollanam-do Social Service Institute has launched efforts to strengthen the expertise of front-line care and welfare practitioners and to support their emotional recovery.

The Jeonnam Social Service Institute announced that on June 8, it held a "Capacity Building Training for Integrated Case Management" at the National Naju Forest Center for care and welfare officials and integrated case managers from 22 cities and counties within the province.

This training was organized to respond to changes in the welfare field, where the number of beneficiaries facing complex crises is increasing, and to help practitioners acquire more systematic case management skills.

On the day of the training, Chunhee Lee, an adjunct professor at Seoul Cyber University, delivered a lecture on "Case Management for High-Need Clients." Participants shared practical knowledge applicable in the field, focusing on conceptualizing cases and methods of intervention.

In particular, there was time to discuss the difficulties and practical concerns encountered when supporting clients with complex needs, as well as to explore possible solutions together.

After the training, a stress relief program was provided for practitioners who are exhausted from emotional labor and work-related burdens. On-site, both specialized education and healing programs were offered, which were positively received for helping practitioners recharge.

Mikyung Shin, President of the Jeonnam Social Service Institute, said, "We aimed to provide practical training and opportunities for recovery to practitioners who strive to improve residents' welfare at the forefront of the public sector," adding, "I hope this training will lead to even better welfare services in the field."

She continued, "We will continue to expand support projects to strengthen the capacity of city and county practitioners, thereby contributing to the improvement of welfare services that residents can truly feel."

Meanwhile, starting with this training, the Jeonnam Social Service Institute plans to fully launch the "Jeollanam-do 22 Cities and Counties Public Consulting" project, in which consultants for professional regional welfare project evaluations will visit local sites in person.
