Ten years have passed since the earthquake.Children are leaving the nest, and middle-aged and older people
I'm getting older.Correspondingly, the shapes of territorial, blood, and occupational ties are changing.

 

In the next 10 and 20 years, generational changes will come equally.Global environmental changes represented by the new coronavirus will also affect the reconstruction and revitalization of the affected areas.However, human beings gather the wisdom to confront the disaster and confront it.

 

As a team of disaster mental health experts, Kokorogake will continue to learn from the past, flexibly respond to what is needed now, and share preparations for the future.

 

Union is Power!

Happy new year.

 

Thank you very much for your help last year.In Kokorogake, we looked back on the disaster area support activities over 10 years and summarized the "trajectory for reconstruction".Just before that was the global epidemic of the new coronavirus.
Regeneration of territorial, blood, and occupational ties that have finally taken off has been stalled due to movement restrictions aimed at controlling infection."I can't meet the people I want to meet" during Obon, festivals, and New Year is really sad.

 

Still, humanity is learning how to deal with invisible viruses.In Kokorogake, we will introduce ways to alleviate the anxiety caused by infectious diseases and how to "get rid of it even though you can't meet".
Once again, Union is Power! I would like to gather wisdom and power in the spirit of "do it together."

 

We look forward to working with you this year as well.
