Development Background
The revised Child Care and Family Care Leave Bill, which went into effect in April 2022, requires employers to provide training and other efforts to promote male parental leave.
However, even if the workplace encourages male parental leave, as long as the fathers and mothers who are ultimately involved do not properly understand the significance of male parental leave and the realities of pregnancy, postpartum, and childcare, they tend not to use their right to take childcare leave or end up taking "just to take childcare leave" without any substance. It is easy to end up with "just taking childcare leave" without any substance.
Logista Corporation, which operates "Couple's Meeting" to foster "dialogue" between couples, has released a new service, "Couple's Meeting on Childcare Leave Seminar," to support "implementation of training on childcare leave and postpartum parental leave," one of the measures to promote male childcare leave under the revised Child Care and Family Care Leave Law. Logista Corporation, which operates the "Couple's Meeting" service to promote male parental leave under the revised Child and Family Care Leave Law, has released a new service, "Couple's Meeting's Childcare Leave Seminar.
Opportunities for couples to think about their careers and engage in dialogue are essential for promoting "male parental leave that leads to fulfillment of family and work," rather than "leave only to take maternity leave.It is.
In this "Couple's Meeting on Childcare Leave Seminar," Mr. and Mrs. Nagahiro Nagahiro, a father and mother of two children and the first couple in Japan to develop the "Couple's Meeting" method, which focuses on "dialogue" between couples, will serve as lecturers and give lectures on the "realities of pregnancy, postpartum, and childcare" and "tips for dialogue. They will lecture on the "realities of pregnancy, postpartum, and childcare" and "tips for dialogue. They will support couples in having a "dialogue" to create a cooperative system between home and work during the child-rearing period, while closing the gender gap in the home.
Child care employees,Life-threatening crises" such as postpartum depression and abuse, and "family breakdown crises" such as postpartum crisis and divorceWe are committed to helping people successfully balance work and family life without falling into a situation where they are forced to take leave. We will continue to contribute to the promotion of truly valuable "male parental leave" not only in the workplace, but also for the couples concerned and their unborn children.
Participant's Voice
Logista Corporation has been requested by many companies and municipalities to conduct training and seminars on promoting male parental leave and supporting return to work after childcare leave, using the "Couple's Meeting" method. Here we introduce some of the feedback we have received from male participants.
Prior to taking maternity leave
I participated to think about the problems I will face in the future and the measures I will take to deal with them. I thought it would be good if I could take maternity leave, but now I feel that I must take it! I have come to the conclusion that I have to take it.
● I honestly wasn't sure if it would be helpful since this is my third childbirth, but I learned a lot and I feel more positive about housework, childcare, and dialogue with my wife. I feel like I was given a push!
● I was hesitant to take maternity leave, but after the training, I now want to take it not only for my wife and children, but also for myself.
Originally, I was planning to take maternity leave and somehow imagined that I would be doing "childcare. After the training, I was able to understand my wife's difficult situation after pregnancy and childbirth, and I decided to do both housework and childcare in general! I was able to change my mind.
During childcare leave (before returning to work)
I would like to take the course again with my wife! I learned most from the lecturers, Mr. and Mrs. Nagahiro, who themselves "enjoy housework and childcare while cooperating with each other.
I realized that my housework and childcare is only a help to a certain extent. I will work as a "party" at home as well as at work!
I thought that the ability to maintain psychological safety and to cultivate "dialogue" between the couple would be very useful for their relationship at work after they returned to work.
● As I listened to the lecturers, Mr. and Mrs. Nagahiro, describe their "postpartum crisis episodes," I began to verbalize my own sources of anxiety and stress. I think I had neglected the dialogue between the couple. I would like to hold conjugal meetings with the awareness that we are co-managers of the household, and we would like to cooperate with each other in terms of work after both of us return to work.

Point2》Training using "Couple's Meeting," Japan's first method for fostering "dialogue" between couples.
The "Couple's Meeting" is an original method developed for the first time in Japan that focuses on "dialogue" between couples.
Based on the original theory that just as there are stages of human development, there are stages of communication development in the marital relationship, "Married Couples Conference" systematizes communication up to "dialogue" by dividing it into three stages: "conversation," "discussion," and "dialogue.The "Dialogue" skills provided by "Married Couples Conference" have been well-received as "useful at home and at work.It is.

What is a "Couples' Meeting" anyway?
A "Couples' Meeting" is a place where you and your partner, who have decided to create a life together, have a "dialogue" toward a better future and decide on actions to take. It is not a meeting where you can change the other person's opinion. Especially during the child-rearing period, the purpose of the meeting is to create a "better home environment" for the couple and their family as well as for their child.
The "Couple's Meeting ®︎" is a registered trademark of Logista Corporation, and is the first method developed in Japan focusing on the "dialogue" between couples. Please beware of copycat services.
