Mental Health and Lifestyle Survey: Outline (2/2)

Analysis results and advice based thereon are individually sent to people who have submitted inquiry sheets. For respondents who are considered to require professional support as a result of analyzing their responses, clinical psychotherapists, public health nurses, or clinical nurses, etc. make a phone call to offer support concerning problems with their mental health and lifestyles. If necessary, brochures containing health-related information and contacts for consultation services are provided by mail.

Remarks by people who have received support by phone include, “I am glad that I can confess what I cannot say to my family,” or, “I am relieved to know that I can call this number to make consultations whenever I feel depressed.”

Regarding those in need of continued support or professional medical care, support is offered in collaboration with municipalities, the Fukushima Center for Disaster Mental Health and registered doctors who can provide professional advice.
