The Multicultural Family Support Centers and the Danuri Helpline (1577-1366, multilingual, 24 hours) are the best starting points, offering counseling, childcare help, and Korean classes. Local Healthy Family Support Centers and your district office (주민센터) handle single-parent support and childcare subsidies, so ask them directly about eligibility. The Danuri portal lists programs in many languages, and many services are open to registered foreign residents.
