NPO helpwell (Location: Sayama City, Saitama; hereinafter 'helpwell'), which works to prevent burnout among human support workers, will collaborate with Kujilabo Inc. (Location: Tokyo; hereinafter 'Kujilabo') to host an online event titled 'Self-care Workshop to Arrange the Mind' on Saturday, April 25, 2026. This event targets 'supporters who work too hard for others,' including teachers.
■ Background of the Event: 'Isolation due to kindness' faced by support professionals
In the fields of education, welfare, and medical care, there is a strong tendency for professionals to postpone their own care due to a deep sense of responsibility 'for the person in front of them.' The mindset of 'I have to do this right' and 'It's okay as long as I endure' is a major cause of severe burnout and job turnover.
Helpwell operates with the purpose of 'making supporter care the norm,' promoting the construction of a mutual care infrastructure where human support workers can support each other without feeling isolated. On the other hand, Kujilabo values the 'career diversity' of those who support society and aims for a society where people can choose their own authentic way of living.
Sharing the common vision that 'the wellbeing of the supporters themselves is the source of high-quality support,' the two organizations joined hands to create this workshop. The goal is to cultivate an environment where those working in education and welfare can continue to thrive sustainably while valuing their own care.
■ Workshop Content: 1 Hour of 'Time to regain yourself'
Chieri Sakurada, representative of helpwell, will serve as the instructor and provide a program combining theory and practice.
- Lecture: 'Why it is difficult, yet necessary, for supporters to receive care' (20 minutes)
- Work: 'Self-care work to arrange the mind' (20 minutes)
- Q&A (including sharing of impressions) (10 minutes)

Chieri Sakurada
Representative Director, NPO helpwell
Born in 1996. Representative Director of NPO helpwell, operating under the banner 'Making supporter care the norm.' She delivers spaces for dialogue to people supporting society. Originally, she worked in children's developmental support areas, including after-school day services and elementary school support. Later, to explore educational welfare where children can grow up happily, she went on an educational inspection tour to Denmark and the Netherlands in 2018. Upon returning, she realized that 'for children to grow up happily, the happiness of adults might be essential.' She has since delivered care spaces to over 200 human support workers nationwide and established the NPO. She hopes for a rich society where touching hearts and repeating dialogues become natural, and every life is welcomed.
■ Future Prospects
Taking this event as an opportunity, helpwell will deepen its collaboration with partner organizations like Kujilabo, spreading a culture of 'mutual assistance' nationwide where supporters do not have to struggle in isolation and can naturally utilize external communities and resources.
Currently, helpwell has set a goal to deliver care spaces to 1,000 supporters in fiscal year 2026. By accelerating joint actions with external specialized organizations like this workshop, they will pave the way for a future where 'supporter care' is implemented not as a temporary initiative, but as public social infrastructure.
Furthermore, through an ongoing crowdfunding campaign, they plan to turn this movement of 'making supporter care the norm' into a massive societal wave.
[Crowdfunding Currently Underway]
A challenge to make supporter care the norm. We humbly ask for your warm support.
