Enhance Your Parenting Communication Skills Online

The NPO Leche League Japan, led by representative Hitomi Iimura, is excited to announce an online workshop focused on improving communication skills vital for parenting and breastfeeding support. This comprehensive workshop, known as the Communication Skills Training (CST), is scheduled for March 18, 2026, running from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Designed for a small group of participants, the workshop aims to equip attendees with practical skills through interactive role-playing and group discussions.

Overview of the Workshop

The CST will cover essential communication techniques, including active listening, empathy, open questioning, and providing information without being intrusive. These skills are crucial for women during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and parenting. Participants will engage in hands-on learning experiences, honing their abilities in a supportive environment.

Feedback from Previous Participants

Past attendees have shared their experiences with the CST, highlighting the workshop's positive impact:

• - "The necessity of repetition in role-playing was made clear throughout our practice."
• - "I believe such hands-on programs should be a mandatory part of training for interpersonal support roles."
