Workshop for expectant parents held
07/20/2018

We held a workshop for expectant mothers and fathers on June 30.

With help from the Community Health & Welfare Section of the Jonan Ward Health & Welfare Center of Fukuoka City, we organized this workshop with 25 participants in 13 groups from the local community. In addition to expectant parents, soon-to-be grandmas and grandpas also attended.

The "Babyhood Teacher Project" members from NPO Work-style Support Team for Moms assisted the first half of the workshop. Five mothers with their babies spoke about their experiences of giving birth, parenting, and how to get along with their parents. In the second half, Dr. Ayako Goto, a pediatrician at the Fukuoka University Hospital, talked about immunizations and the necessity to have a family pediatrician.

We are holding a parenting and grandparenting workshop on July 28. Our workshops in August and thereafter are also open for registration. We hope to see you at one of the workshops!
