This year, Hyundai Motor Group invited 100 counselors and therapists from 57 child protection agencies across the country, offering a variety of programs aimed at reducing work fatigue and helping them recharge, including attending theater performances and visiting attractions, personalized stress management, and making plant terrariums.

In addition, opportunities were provided for staff to enhance their expertise and professional skills, such as special lectures from guest speakers to improve counseling techniques and on-site legal education tailored to their needs.

Notably, on the first day, Dr. Eunyoung Oh, a psychiatrist, participated as a guest speaker, delivering a lecture on managing abused children and counseling techniques, and led a Q&A session based on real-life field cases shared by staff, which received high satisfaction.

On the final day, lawyer Kim Youngmi, an expert in child abuse and family law cases, provided a lecture covering essential legal knowledge for the field, including legal terminology, procedures for reporting incidents, roles at each stage of the process, and legal responsibilities.

Since 2014, Hyundai Motor Group has been operating the "i-CARE" initiative, focusing on establishing a comprehensive support system for protecting abused children. This includes the "i-CARE Car" program, which provides vehicles dedicated to immediate on-site separation and psychological counseling, and the "i-CARE Home" program, which supports the remodeling of shelters where children stay.

A Hyundai Motor Group representative stated, "We will continue to support the psychological recovery and professional development of child protection agency workers, and further, we will strive to ensure that abused children can grow up in a safe environment."
