Musashino University: Entrepreneurship Faculty Fully Introduces "Demae Hokenshitsu for SCHOOL" by Cocolo no Hokenshitsu Co., Ltd. to Provide Mental Care for Freshmen Before Stress Accumulates in New Life

Musashino University (Koto Ward, Tokyo; President: Seiko Konishi) and Cocolo no Hokenshitsu Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Mihama Ward, Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture; Representative Director: Tomoyo Takahashi) will officially introduce "Demae Hokenshitsu for SCHOOL" provided by Cocolo no Hokenshitsu as part of student support, targeting first-year students of the Faculty of Entrepreneurship (hereinafter EMC) who live in dormitories, starting in April 2026.

【Key Points of This Matter】

・Support for EMC students who begin dormitory life simultaneously with university enrollment, even at night.

・Students can use the service casually, and it can be linked with faculty teachers and student counseling rooms as needed.

At EMC, we practice education where students proactively learn, act, and challenge themselves. The process of challenging can be accompanied by invisible psychological burdens such as anxiety, hesitation, relationship issues, and conflicts about career paths. In particular, all first-year students in this faculty enter educational dormitories, which means their living environment changes significantly upon university enrollment. In an environment where they constantly receive stimuli and learn from each other, it is not uncommon for them to experience mental and physical stress.

The company's service continuously implements the value of the "health room" as a "place where one can speak safely without being evaluated" as "support that doesn't end with consultation" within the students' learning environment.

In the trial introduction during fiscal year 2025, opportunities were created for students to organize their thoughts and conditions through [lectures / consultation support / online interviews, etc.]. Based on these results, the service will be officially introduced in fiscal year 2026 to enable students to consult about daily concerns at an early stage, achieve self-understanding, and practice self-care. Through continuous engagement throughout the year, support will be provided according to each student's changes and timing. Additionally, information will be shared with the faculty as needed, and if continuous and specialized support is required, students will be connected to the Health Management Center (Student Counseling Room). The goal is to support a smooth university life by utilizing the service's feature of being easy to consult even during hours when existing windows are difficult to use, such as at night.

※In this university, "Entrepreneurship" refers to a mindset of taking action without fear of failure, discovering new value, and creating based on high aspirations and ethics.

【Comments】

Yoichi Ito (Dean, Faculty of Entrepreneurship, Musashino University)

The more students challenge themselves, the more their hesitation, anxiety, and relationship fluctuations increase. That is why the "health room" system, where one can stop without being evaluated and verbalize and organize their state, is important. With annual implementation, I strongly expect that an environment will be fostered where students can connect with support at the necessary timing and continue to learn in their own way based on self-understanding.

Toshimasa Kamimura (Principal, St. Christopher High School)

Challenges bring not only the joy of growth but also moments of hesitation, anxiety, and wanting to stop. That is why we want to deliver the value of the "health room," where one can safely look at their own state without being evaluated, to the current learning environment. We are grateful to be able to work with everyone in the Musashino University Faculty of Entrepreneurship throughout the year and will strive to create an environment where each student can move forward in their own way.
