Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan as they struggle to recover from these terrible disasters.

Global links for assistance and support

 

Chicago-Area Psychological Support

Through the Japanese-American Service Commitee, a well-established social service agency in Chicago, a series of free support groups has been set up for those with family or friends in Japan, or those who have been impacted by the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear accidents in Japan.

A flyer (in Japanese) announcing these support groups is attached:

Much appreciation to all of the volunteer mental health clinicians, especially Mayumi Nakamura, Psy.D., who is my associate at Adler School of Professional Psychology, and Asako Hoichi, LCPC, a longtime colleague from Perspectives EAP, who are donating their time to this effort.
