JSS「Ogenki-desuka?」Project

How have you been doing?

～ Let’s chat with a JSS social worker! ～

It’s been a year and half since the pandemic was declared in March 2020. Some may still feel worried to see someone directly and haven’t talked to others for a while. It becomes critical to also take care of your mental and emotional well-being – especially for senior citizens who are at higher risk to COVID-19 infection.

We at JSS would like to talk to you; asking how you are doing, helping with questions or concerns you may have (as much as possible), and searching if there is anything JSS can do. Are you interested in chatting with JSS staff? We are more than happy to talk to you one/few time(s) or set a regular chat schedule (*until Dec 2021). 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?
