Famione Continues to Provide "Yokohama Fertility SNS Consultation Project" in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, for FY2026

Famione Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yusuke Ishikawa), which develops healthcare support services such as "Famione" (https://famione.com/benefit/) for corporate employees and residents of local governments, with the vision of "creating a society where all who wish for children can walk a happy life," has announced that the provision of services to support fertility and women's specific concerns via LINE, as the "Yokohama Fertility SNS Consultation Project" entrusted by Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture (Mayor: Takeharu Yamanaka, hereinafter Yokohama City), will continue in fiscal year Reiwa 8 (2026). ▼Click here for the full press release d14333-774-6f9a5508cd21615a4e98d20e1f310535.pdf Yokohama City introduced this project in fiscal year Reiwa 6 (2024). Recognizing the difficulty of consulting close individuals about fertility and infertility concerns, leading many to bear their worries alone, the project aims to provide necessary information and a sense of relief by allowing easy, anonymous consultations. In addition, the consultations will address not only fertility and infertility treatment but also concerns related to pregnancy and childbirth, infertility and recurrent miscarriage, miscarriage and stillbirth, and sexual issues (including consultations on contraception and sexual acts, mental healthcare, and communication between couples). Consultations are accepted not only from those directly involved but also from those in a supportive role around them. The project provides support as a service that anyone, regardless of gender or age, can use with peace of mind and ease. ■User Voices (Excerpt) "At the hospital, the doctor seemed busy, and I didn't feel much relief from asking questions. There's no one around me I can talk to about infertility, so I was very happy to receive a kind, personalized message directed at me." "They listen carefully to my anxieties and empathize with my feelings, providing advice that helps me immensely every time. They give precise comments on what to do and when, making my next actions clear and reliable! I'm grateful for the approachable atmosphere too!" "Something sad happened the day before, and I was able to talk about it right away. They listened carefully, which helped me switch my mood smoothly. I was also able to move on to the next action, and I am grateful." ■FY2025 Initiatives and Seminar Participant Voices In FY2025, a preconception seminar was held in June and a fertility/infertility treatment seminar in October. Participants had lively reactions and questions, and the seminars received high evaluations for both satisfaction and understanding. Participant Comments (Excerpt) "The lecturer's way of speaking was very easy to understand, and I could concentrate well. I was happy that my husband showed interest in my health." "Due to career plans, I am thinking of starting fertility treatment around December 2026. So, although it's still early, I participated hoping to gain knowledge in advance. My partner plans to watch it later due to work commitments." "I knew that communication between couples or partners could go wrong during fertility treatment, but I didn't know until now that it's also important to rely on a psychologist. I will definitely keep that in mind." ■About FY2026 Seminars In FY2026, four seminars are scheduled to be held. Details will be announced sequentially on the website and in press releases.
