The footage and stories coming forth from Japan are heartbreaking and nearly impossible to comprehend. Long after the headlines are gone and the media have moved on, the people impacted by disasters are still rebuilding and healing. I hope we will all keep our Japanese brothers and sisters in our hearts, minds and actions for years to come. In the meantime, resources are being made available to assist with the immediate crises. One SF Bay Area local therapist has organized free support groups in Japanese for those impacted by the disasters. THANKS to Yuko Ninomiya!!! INFORMATION on FREE SUPPORT GROUP in April: The impact of these natural disasters and subsequent nuclear crisis have been overwhelming. The monster quake and tsunami hit Northeastern Japan on March 11 and there have been so many casualties. This support group is for Japanese-speaking people in San Francisco Bay Area to talk about their sense of sadness, fear and loss in a safe environment.
Some may have lost family members, relatives or friends. Many may have been heart-broken by watching unimaginable disasters in their homeland.
The goal of this support group is for participants to regain a sense of safety and strength.
This group will be offered for 5 weeks and conducted in Japanese.
This is an open group so that people can join whenever they need support.
