JSS「Ogenki-desuka?」Program
How have you been doing?
～ Let’s chat with a JSS coordinator! ～
The “Ogenki-desuka?” program, which was held for a limited time last year, is back!
In a pandemic with no ending in sight, some may still feel apprehensive to see someone in-person and haven’t talked to others for a while, especially for senior citizens who are at higher risk to COVID-19 infection. In a situation that can easily deepen feelings of isolation, it becomes critical to take care of your mental and emotional well-being. Therefore, JSS is resuming the “Ogenki Desuka” (How are you?) program, which was offered for a limited time last year. Are you interested in chatting with JSS staff? We are more than happy to talk to you either once, a few times, or set a regular chat schedule (*until Dec 2022). Contact us today!
Contact us if you are…
- a senior citizen (age 60+) with Japanese background (language, origin, culture),
- a person who takes care of this (↑) individual, or
- a person who knows and is worried about this (↑) individual
*Program is offered in Japanese/English
What will we talk over the phone?
- Any change before/after pandemic: life, health, social life, activity, etc.
- How you have been doing
- Any concerns, difficulties you are facing
- Any episode you had fun/joy or you were sad
- Any worries, things you want to know
- Literally ANYTHING as the time allows
OK, I want in. What do I do next?
