The "mental health support" does not end with symptomatic treatment.

Dr. Sakurazawa has been working as a corporate industrial physician since 1998, and has been involved in a wide range of industries including IT, manufacturing, finance, and medicine. After completing his graduate studies in public health at Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, he received his M.D. degree. He continues to provide support that links scientific evidence and on-the-ground practice.

His book, "Guidebook for Self-Care and Return to Work for Persons with Mental Illness" (Kongo Publishing Co., Ltd.) has been widely read not only by personnel and labor affairs personnel but also by persons with mental illness, and is in its third printing.

Why "Mental Industrial Physician" now?

Depression, absence from work, harassment, low motivation.

Depression, leave of absence, harassment, low motivation... Behind these individual problems, "structural problems in the workplace" often lurk. Sakurazawa is committed to addressing these "difficult-to-see issues in the workplace" and helping each employee to become more autonomous and resilient, and the organization as a whole to become healthier.

In his Voicy appearances, he talks about real issues in the medical x workplace, such as "the relationship between physical illness and depression," "support for leaving a 'workplace that can't go,'" and "the combination of metabolic syndrome and depression.

In his lectures and training sessions, he asks questions that get to the essence of the organization on themes such as "health management," "anti-harassment measures," and "mental responses of managers.

Voice of a lecturer (an example)

The balance of theory and field experience was perfect, and the participants were very satisfied with the lecture.

The words reached the hearts and minds of management, and it gave us a chance to rethink "health" as a management issue.

"The lecture was able to clarify the "hazy" issues in human resources and occupational health.

These comments indicate that Mr. Sakurazawa's lectures and training programs are not only about "communicating" but also about practical knowledge for "change.
