Unique Training Event on Pregnancy Conflict Counseling
In a significant move towards enhancing support for individuals facing pregnancy-related challenges, the accredited NPO Piccolare is set to host a specialized training course titled "Practical Edition of Pregnancy Conflict Counseling" on September 13, 2025. This comprehensive event will take place from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM in Tokyo and is designed for professionals involved in various supportive roles such as maternal and child health, children's welfare, and education.
What to Expect from the Program
This unique training provides an authentic experience through role-playing based on real-life cases, allowing participants to immerse themselves in the dynamics of counseling settings. The program aims to resonate with the participants' genuine emotions, imparting essential skills and insights into effective support mechanisms and interventions.
Notably, the training will cover:
- - Email and Chat Counseling: Understanding the nuances of digital communication in support roles.
- - Phone Counseling Role Play: Engaging in role plays to practice phone counseling techniques.
- - Mock Case Conference: Collaboratively exploring multidisciplinary approaches to support services with other professionals.
One of the highlights of the training is the opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of the emotional states of individuals experiencing pregnancy conflicts. This empathetic perspective is invaluable in providing compassionate support and navigating challenging conversations.
An open Q&A session will conclude the training, and participants will have the chance to network with one another in an informal setting post-event, enhancing community engagement and collaboration.

The training is particularly tailored for:
- - Professionals operating in pregnancy counseling roles
- - Individuals interested in supporting pregnant women
