The Post 3.11 Mental Health Tsunami: A Panel Discussion
The March 11th disaster made us realize that no one can be prepared for a large scale disaster single-handedly. In order to provide effective disaster relief for the English-speaking population, we need to ensure collaboration among stakeholders in the international community, English-speaking specialists and Japanese professionals. Experienced experts in this area and will discuss:
- Issues involved in psychosocial and mental health disaster relief
- What has been taking place in the affected regions
- How we can actually improve preparedness among the English-speaking population
Come join us - Operation Tomodachi begins anew today.
