The General Incorporated Association Japan Nursing Care Association has its headquarters in Okayama.

Kumiko Shibata, who founded the End-of-Life Care Association, has long practiced hugging and seeing someone off when they depart. In response to Japan's aging problem, we launched a certified caretaker system in 2012 and are actively working to increase the number of caretaker nationwide.

Shimizu of the Tokyo Kenshujo has had the opportunity to witness many end-of-life situations when she was a nurse. Death is not something to hate, nor is it dark.

A happy departure can have a positive view of life and death, and the family can increase their self-esteem and self-efficacy, and I feel that it can create happiness for those left behind.

It is also the dream of Shibata, the chairman of the Japan Caregiver Association.

​

"In the end, so that everyone can feel loved..."

​

​

I myself would like to achieve the same. In order to help make that dream come true, I decided to become a certified caretaker and provide support to the departed and their families.

Currently, in order to get closer to that dream, we hold end-of-life care lectures, and hold one-day experience in the womb and training courses for end-of-life care as a lecturer. ​ Tokyo Training Institute also holds a “Training Course for End-of-Life Care” to support the birth of end-of-life care. We also dispatch end-of-life caregivers, manage unpaid volunteer angel teams, and offer advice on end-of-life care.

First of all, I will do my best to let as many people as possible know about the existence of a “caregiver”. Nice to meet you.
