Let's Talk About It Mental Health Program is an initiative aims to enhance the mental, physical, familia, and community well-being for people of African decent and other foreign individuals living in Japan by providing mental health services, education, unity, and empowerment. By fostering cross-cultural understanding through professional and community workshops and seminars, we aim to reduce stigmas and promote open dialogue to encourage better cross cultural relations in relationships.
Foreigners often face the inability to access needed resources due to communication barriers, deficits in Japanese cultural awareness, and even discrimination. These roadblocks directly impact housing resources, employment, financial support and scholastic acclamation, acceptance and opportunities for children. Negative effects include social isolation, anxiety, depression, and stress attributed to adjustment. A combination of these factors directly impacts foreigner's mental health in Japan.
