Why Healing Japan?
Although 6 years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake, studies and surveys show that many still suffer from invisible
problems such as emotional scars and trauma, and that the victims require long-term care.By using culturally relevant, non-
traditional methods such as expressive therapies and group facilitation, Healing Japan aims to develop local capacity for assisting a
traumatized population in times of crises, as well as to provide necessary long-term psychosocial support to the victims.We believe
that high-quality, low-cost and sustainable capacity for psycho-social support is crucial for the long-term recovery of people affected
by disasters and other adversities.Our aim is thus to help create such a capacity.Entering the 7th year after the disasters, Japan
IsraAID Support Program remains committed to the people of Tohoku, and continues to work to meet the current challenge of
people's mental well-being.
Thank you for your long-term support to the Healing Japan program!
