Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Week 2025: KIND Program/Nursing Care Seminar on Thursday, Dec 11 — "Secrets to Balancing Work and Nursing Care: Preparing for the Unexpected"

The Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion holds "Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Week" every year, featuring a series of events over a set period to promote and raise awareness of an inclusive environment. Starting this December, we will hold the 6th "Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Week 2025" with various themed projects. We are pleased to announce a nursing care seminar for faculty and staff as part of this initiative. As one of the KIND-Nursing Care Support Programs, the Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion holds an annual "Nursing Care Workshop" for those who may face nursing care in the future or are already facing it. To help balance work and nursing care, an expert will explain basic knowledge, mindsets, and specific countermeasures. We hope this will help alleviate your concerns regarding nursing care. Additionally, as in previous years, we will hold individual consultation sessions with the instructor regarding nursing care at a later date. Family members are also welcome to attend. If you wish to participate, please apply below.
