First 'National Forum on Children's Mental Care' to be Held

The Ashinaga Foundation will hold the 'National Forum on Children's Mental Care: Toward a Society that Supports Children's Hearts' on June 27, 2026, in a hybrid format both in Tokyo and online. While the importance of mental care for children has been growing, support organizations face challenges such as a lack of expertise and insufficient collaboration. This forum aims to be the first step in building a national network where organizations can discuss common goals and solutions. By inviting researchers and educators, the foundation hopes to foster momentum toward realizing a society that truly supports children's mental well-being.
