Famione's Continued Online Fertility Consultations in Setagaya

Setagaya City in Tokyo renews its commitment to the 'Famione Online Consultation for Fertility' initiative for the fiscal year 2025. Famione, a healthcare support service based in Shibuya, Tokyo, focuses on providing assistance to individuals and couples looking to conceive. The service is aimed at creating a society where everyone wishing to have children can pursue a happy life.

Innovative Online Support

The consultation service does not just deal with fertility challenges; it also addresses preconception care, menstrual troubles, couples' communication, and menopause issues. Setagaya strives to provide varied consultation methods, ensuring that support is tailored and effective. Text consultations and voice calls are offered anonymously and free of charge, with no limits on the number of sessions available. A team of specialists is ready to listen and provide essential information.

Voices from Users

Feedback from users highlights the effectiveness of the service:

- One participant shared, "I was genuinely touched that my background was understood, and the responses were considerate."
- Another noted how their concerns about the future were alleviated, stating, "I was unsure about my next steps but felt relieved after our conversation."
- A peer counselor’s response was also heartening, as one user expressed gratitude: "Hearing from someone who has had similar experiences made me feel lighter and less alone."

Commitment to Awareness and Understanding

Setagaya City has also hosted workshops, such as the 'Partners’ Fertility Planning - Basics to Know for Peace of Mind', aimed at promoting understanding of infertility treatments. These sessions involved nurses, infertility counselors, and embryologists to facilitate a deeper comprehension among participants, receiving high marks for satisfaction.

One participant remarked, "The clear information on lifestyle habits and pregnancy rates was enlightening. I had regrets about not starting earlier, but now I feel less stressed knowing that age is not everything."

Famione's Welfare Service Overview

The 'Famione' welfare service supports organizations by enhancing workplace wellness through two main axes: fostering a supportive company culture and providing individual support tailored to employees. Employees can opt for online consultations with certified nurses and counselors across various themes. This initiative guarantees expertise while maintaining anonymity, thus fostering a psychologically safe environment and enhancing employee satisfaction.

Moreover, Famione organises seminars led by professional instructors aimed at raising health literacy within companies, focusing especially on unique health challenges faced by women. With about 70% of female employees seeking greater understanding from their leaders, addressing these educational needs through seminars is critical.

Famione has been operational since September 2018 and has successfully partnered with companies including Sony and ANA, as well as local governments such as Setagaya, Nagasaki, and other municipalities across Japan to broaden support services. Importantly, it is noted that while they provide vital information, the service does not include medical diagnoses or prescriptions.
