Itabashi CampusSenior Assistant Professor Terada gave a lecture at the 153rd Itabashi Volunteer and Citizen Activities Forum

The 153rd Itabashi Volunteer/Civic Activities Forum was held on Saturday, February 3, 2024 at Ohara Lifelong Learning Center Manaport Hall (Itabashi Ward, Tokyo). Yukiko Terada, Senior Assistant Professor in the Department of Nursing Faculty of Medical Technology Teikyo University, and other faculty members from our university gave lectures at ``Story of Care''.

This forum was co-sponsored by the Volunteer and Citizen Activity Learning Promotion Center Itabashi, a specified non-profit organization, and the Itabashi Ward Board of Education. A lecture and group work was held.
At the time of the event, Hideki Yamamoto, Professor at Faculty of Pharma-Science at our university, gave a greeting on behalf of our sponsoring university, followed by a lecture by Senior Assistant Professor Terada. Senior Assistant Professor Terada also serves as the representative of DC NETWORK, Japan's first double-carer support organization for childcare and nursing care by medical professionals, and in his lecture he provided the definition of double care and introduced examples of various forms of double care. The approximately 30 participants nodded deeply when I explained the problems faced by those involved, such as providing long-distance care while raising children. Afterwards, participants engaged in group work based on case studies on the theme of ``What if there was a double carer in the house next door?'', with members of the same support group acting as facilitators, including Teiko Amame, Senior Assistant Professor in the Department of Department of Nursing, Faculty of Medical Technology at our university. Ta. Opinions were exchanged very lively during the group discussion, and when the signal for the end of the session was given, the entire venue felt as if there was a sense of regret.
Our university will continue to work on raising awareness and raising awareness of double care both inside and outside the university, such as by planning on-campus events for our medical staff.
