新潟地域福祉協会

The Niigata Regional Welfare Association is dedicated to fostering community bonds through caregiving and enhancing regional welfare development. Founded in response to the social needs highlighted by the devastation of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, the Association emphasizes the importance of "kizuna" or connections among individuals, families, and communities. Their mission encompasses a broad range of educational initiatives aimed at training professionals in the caregiving field, including practical training for care workers and specialized courses for support staff.

The Association also engages in disaster-care volunteer support and community contribution activities. These efforts include makeup workshops, AED training, and programs to train dementia supporters. Through continuous assessment and adaptation, the Niigata Regional Welfare Association strives to meet the evolving needs of the community, especially in light of challenges posed by recent global events. They aim to create a supportive environment where care services are delivered safely and effectively, ensuring a high quality of life for all residents.
