AboutAbout the lab
Studying empowerment scientifically to bring out people's strengths
The International Developmental Care Lab conducts research that studies empowerment scientifically.
Empowerment means giving people dreams and hope, encouraging them, and bringing forth the wonderful strength to live that people inherently have.
The lab applies empowerment techniques to the field of care to achieve better care, and it advocates "empowerment care science."
Using long-term cohort studies and the group interview method, which draws on the voices of the people concerned, the lab conducts research together with researchers, practitioners, and the people concerned in many countries.
