Introduction of Psychological Staff
Last Updated March 10, 2021
INTERVIEW01 “Mental Care Section in children's guidance office, Northern Child and Youth Bureau”
Even as a newcomer, as a single child, Masaji
01 Current Business
elementary school student Shin Masaji conducts psychological diagnosis and support for nursing notebooks and social care cases. Through various psychological tests, interviews, and observations, we understand the characteristics and thoughts of children, and strive to evaluate and coordinate family relationships in cooperation with other occupations and institutions. We are conscious of snuggling with the counselor while receiving guidance from senior staff so that we can lead to accurate support.
02 What I learned after joining the agency
I am gradually learning about psychological tests and interview methods, which are the basis of my duties, and preparation of findings. In particular, we learn the attitude of the interview practically by jurying the inspection and interview scenes of senior staff and having senior staff present. In addition, through the training of newly appointed psychologists, we acquire basic philosophy and business grounds, practical knowledge, attitude as city staff.
03 Experience in Work
The specialized knowledge of psychology that I learned at universities and graduate schools is the basis for my work. In addition, experience with related organizations and children through practical training and part-time jobs may be a hint for your current job. Each of the learning and experiences before joining the agency lives in my current job, and I realize the depth of psychological support and interpersonal assistance.
INTERVIEW02 “Board of Education Secretariat Human Rights Education and elementary school student Student Division”
Identity as a professional
01 Current Business
In cooperation with counselors at elementary and junior high schools and Children and Families Support Division at each ward office, we provide consultation support for elementary and junior high school students regarding psychology and medical care, including truancy, friendship, personality behavior, and family relationships. We mainly examine support organizations during interviews and provide consultation with counselors.
02 What we value
I always try to make my imagination work, such as what the counselor thinks and feels, and what kind of life they live. In addition, we value values and culture that have as many homes as possible. I feel rewarding when I see that the relationship between parents and children and their families changes through involvement.
03 Memories of Newcomer Age
After joining the agency, I worked with local people and staff of other occupations in a workplace without the same occupation. There, I had a valuable experience of learning about regional characteristics, administrative services, and the way of multi-occupational cooperation, and I think that human relationships have spread there. At first glance, I feel that an experience that looks like a detour expands my horizons, enhances my expertise, and enriches my career.
INTERVIEW03, Chief of Care Section, Central children's guidance office, Child and Youth Bureau
Imagining the future with multiple eyes and exploring what we can do now
"As responsible for Psychologists"
During his time, he played the role of assisting chiefs in children's guidance office and organizing the workplace of the Education Counseling organization. Taking advantage of that experience, I wanted to be involved in human resource development and management from a broader perspective, and wanted to be involved in the succession of Yokohama's path as a psychological profession, so I aimed to be a responsible position.
At present, he manages the staff to work with motivation and responsibility, and at meetings that determine children's guidance office's aid policy, he speaks from a psychological perspective. In addition, we are working together with the responsible responsibilities of the four children's guidance office cities in the city to cooperate with other occupations, collaborate with other institutions, and create a system for fostering the entire psychological profession.
