Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) Senior Manager Mr. Shunichiro Kurita served as planner and moderator at a symposium titled, “Necessary Steps for Implementing Children’s Mental Health Support in Society.” The symposium was held as part of the 21st Annual Conference of the Japan Society of Stress Management.
This project discussed the importance of stress management as part of children’s mental health support and examined what policy actions will be necessary to support such measures so they can be implemented in society. HGPI Children’s Health Project activities in FY2021 and FY2022 focused on how to best support children’s mental health. HPGI collaborated with the Japan Society for Stress Management to hold this event as part of its efforts to disseminate its policy recommendations to greater society and encourage their implementation.
