On October 5th, we held our second mental health counseling cafe.
This time, we had guests from the Philippines and Thailand.
Some of the problems were common to Japanese people, such as losing mental balance due to financial hardship or mental disorders caused by religious beliefs, but others were unfamiliar.
Even if it is simply a case of financial hardship, for foreigners, financial hardship directly affects whether they can stay in the country, so it is an even more severe problem that weighs on their minds than it does on Japanese people.
Psychiatrists and clinical psychologists listened carefully to the patients' concerns in order to help ease their mental burden.
At the Mental Health Counseling Cafe, mental health specialists are available to listen to the concerns of foreigners. While they cannot prescribe medicine, they will listen to you and give you advice on how to maintain your mental health. If you have recently been feeling unwell, have trouble sleeping, become irritable, or have any other concerns, please come and visit us.
We will take a short break from the next session, and then plan to hold three sessions, once a month starting in January. Detailed dates will be announced on this website. Please feel free to contact us by phone or email.
