Lecturer introduction

Voice from the local government

Mr. Tsukamoto, Health and Welfare Department, Fukuchiyama City Hall, Kyoto Prefecture

“In the lecturer’s talk, there was a topic about ” skills necessary to support people close to us”. When consulting friends or families who are depressed, rather than worry too much about measuring the correct sense of distance and try to draw an immediate conclusion, it is much better to reduce the depressed person’s “anxiety” and try to deep dive into their issues to get a comprehensive picture of the problems. I find it important and I would like to make use of it in my future work.”
