What is the Ichikawa Family Support Center?

print
update: Nov 25,2009
The Ichikawa Family Support Center is a place where people can lend each other support in order to facilitate the enriched and sound development of children and give them a bright future. In order to start using this family support program, it is required to attend an introductory seminar for admission and register for membership.
This program is a local setup dedicated to mutual assistance with regard to child-raising among the following groups of members: (1) "assisting members," who can provide help to requesting members, (2) "requesting members," who are living and working in this city, and are trying to find somebody who can extend help in raising children, generally between 6 months and 12 years of age, and (3) "two-way members," who sometimes need help from others and sometimes can assist others.
Let's get together and help each other so that the children of this community can be richly nurtured. We believe that, from such effort, both the children and the adults can benefit greatly, and we can look forward to the diversified and sound development of this community.

  • There is an open space, where playthings for small children are provided. Both parents and children can visit in order to play together, which facilitates contact or interaction with various kinds of people. Eventually, conversation may develop in the areas of child-raising, family matters, etc., which may lead to exchanges of useful information and even informal counseling.
  • A newsletter for the members, called Pokka-Poka Tsushin, brings you a wide range of information on the Family Support Center and the on-going activities there every three months.
  • Get-to-know-you gatherings take place in various manners so that the members can establish friendships and interact more smoothly for mutual assistance.
  • In order to encourage the initiation of mutual assistance activities and provide a place where something positive can be experienced, azukarikko (which means "take care of a child for each other") activities are being hosted.
