Introduction of courses held (in part)
How do you go about fertility and infertility treatment while working?
In this course, we will carefully explain the basic flow of infertility treatment while unraveling the social background of people who are balancing work and fertility and the challenges they are likely to face in the workplace. The content includes case studies based on actual problems and how one can coordinate work and fertility treatment, allowing participants to think about the best method for them.
Participant's Voice
I felt that I was not the only one who had anxiety, and I was given hints on how to face it positively.
The fact that we participated together as a couple gave us an opportunity to think together and have time to discuss how we will face the future.
Dad's Lecture: The Role of Fathers is Changing - Tips on How to Relate to Fathers and Mental Health Care
In this course, we will take a look at the "background of fatherhood" and "psychological care for fathers after childbirth" to unravel the challenges faced when balancing work and child rearing, and how to respond to them. The lecture will then consider in detail "things that can be done only by fathers" and the importance of conversation between partners. At a recent session, participants deepened their learning by exchanging opinions with each other.
Participant's Voice
I was impressed that I was able to chat with other fathers in the same position during the course. I gained a lot of insight and learning that only those who are involved in the same situation can provide.
I was able to hear from people who have actually experienced maternity leave, which gave me a hint for thinking about my own work style.
Working Class] What If Your Child Catches a Cold? Reality and Preparation for Working Parents
In this course, participants will learn how to respond to the theme of children's illnesses that they are likely to face immediately after returning to work, assuming actual cases. The course will simulate the realistic decisions and actions that are required in a situation such as what to do when a child suddenly develops a fever on a Tuesday morning. In addition, the course also introduces specific support measures that can be utilized, such as available childcare for sick children, childcare for children after illness, and corporate systems.
Participant's Voice
I thought it would be reassuring to know this information before returning to work.
I feel much better now that I realize that relying on others is part of balancing both.
