Park (52), living in Bundang, has spent four years supporting her mother through cancer treatment. One day at work, she suddenly found herself short of breath.
In her first consultation with an advisor, she received a diagnosis: she had already crossed the critical threshold.
Through short-term respite care, her mother was cared for during one week, and Park had her first real break.
Following that, she completed eight sessions of remote psychological counseling and redesigned the care schedule so that three family members could share the caregiving duties.
Six months later, Park was able to focus on work again, and her mother's care satisfaction also improved.
