Mental Health Support
As Prefectural Advisor, my primary role is to support you confidentially and emotionally when you are going through a rough time. However, I understand that in some situations, you might feel more comfortable consulting a licensed counsellor. So I have information on that too!
The one recommended most by ALT’s is Ms. Yuriko Yanaga, an English speaking clinical psychologist in Fukuoka. Her phone number is (092) 733-2220 and you can find her office in the Rainbow Plaza. Most costs are covered by the Rainbow Plaza.
