Amid growing interest in human capital management, the incidence of mentally ill people in companies and the resulting increase in the number of people taking leave and quitting their jobs has become an issue that companies cannot ignore. However, once a person has fallen into a mental health condition, it will be too late to respond, and as a result, it will likely not lead to improvements in the number of absences or separation from work. The important thing when it comes to mental health care in the workplace is to deal with mental illness before it becomes a problem and prevent it from happening.
Smart Counseling Room Co., Ltd. develops and operates the online interpersonal support service “Smart Counseling Room” for
corporations, which eliminates the “moyamoya” of workers and aligns “individual growth” with “organizational growth.” By providing an external consultation service where workers can consult about anything depending on their concerns, we support employees before they become mentally ill and contribute to creating an environment where they can work with peace of mind.
Our CEO’s first book, “Before Employees Get Mentally Ill,” describes the importance of dealing with mental illness before it occurs, the value of counseling itself, and the creation of a system for this, based on his experience through the “Smart Consultation Room.” I am telling you this based on what happened.
This book was well received before its release and was reprinted before its release. After its release, it reached number one in weekly rankings at multiple bookstores.

Also, on Amazon, you can read such things as “It takes care of my feelings,” “I want to read this book because I was holding on without realizing that I was mentally ill,” and “The need for counseling that doesn’t give answers is actually important.” We have received many reviews that agree with the content. Furthermore, on SNS, we received comments such as “It is definitely beneficial for all business people,” “Consultation is a regular mental check-up,” and “Creating an environment where people can consult can seem easy, but it is difficult.” We have received sympathy from readers who have experienced mental illness, as well as those who have experienced mental illness.
■After receiving the reprint: Author’s comment
We have received notice that the third printing has been decided, and we feel that the books are gradually starting to arrive in the hands of everyone.
Rather than being happy as an author, I feel joy in knowing that “the importance of dealing with mental illness before it becomes a problem” and “the fact that seeking advice is meaningful in itself” is reaching people from all walks of life. .
Mental illness is a social issue. Anyone can have a bad day, and everyone can be a supporter.
As both individuals and society become more diverse, I think it would be great if “consulting” could become a clue to living a successful life.
Smart Counseling Office Co., Ltd. Representative Director/CEO Yasuo Fujita ■Book overview
In Japan, the number of patients with mental illnesses is rapidly increasing. It is said that mental health issues are on the rise, especially within companies, due to the difficulty of online communication since the outbreak of the new coronavirus.
It is a big negative for a company when an employee suddenly complains of mental illness and takes a leave of absence or resigns.
The government has also launched a number of measures, such as implementing stress checks and raising awareness about health management.
In June 2022, all companies will be required to set up a harassment consultation desk, and workplaces with 50 or more workers at any given time will be required to appoint an industrial physician. However, even if we set up a consultation desk within the company, it is still difficult for employees to seek help, and unfortunately, the number of people with mental illnesses is increasing.
Under such circumstances, “Smart Counseling Room,” an online interpersonal support service for corporations where professional counselors with various specialties provide online counseling, has received many real-life consultations from working people.
This book introduces actual examples from the perspectives of actual counselors, human resources and labor personnel personnel, and counselors, and explains in detail what issues they face and how they are being addressed and resolved. I’m telling you exactly.
This is a book that provides emotional support and is useful not only for personnel and labor personnel, but also for managers and those who are struggling with mental health issues.

* Introduction *
*Chapter 1: The reality of losing 11,040,000 yen if one new graduate resigns* I don’t notice my own mental illness
Are doctors waiting for you to become mentally ill?
Mental illness that doesn’t heal like a cold
The reality of not being able to express your concerns “rationally” *Chapter 2: The “deep gap” between the thoughts of human resources and labor personnel and those with mental illness*
I’m in charge of human resources and labor, and I want you to tell me your concerns.
I’m in charge of human resources and labor, and I don’t want people to talk about their concerns.
Even though I knew the truth, I still dealt with people on leave today. I am in charge of human resources and labor affairs and play the role of spokesperson for the company.
HR and labor personnel are also mentally ill
*Chapter 3: If you feel uneasy, it’s a good idea to seek advice first – The most troublesome thing was “I was injured or sick”! -* Did you know that “I am injured or ill”?
If you are feeling uneasy, please consult with us first.
An employee says, “I should have consulted with you sooner.” Can I tell my boss, “My boyfriend is cheating on me”?
Fear of “My salary might go down if I ask for advice”
I can’t do it even if I’m told, “If you need anything, please contact me.” Where can I feel safe and consult?
*Chapter 4: Mental illness can happen to anyone – major setbacks and opportunities for growth -*
I was a picture-perfect, fierce employee.
An employee I was working with suddenly became mentally ill. Mental health of steel, mental illness
As an employee and a business manager
What is the true nature of Moyamoya?
The difference between “values and recognition” and “events” is individuality. What you should do instead of simply quitting your company
* Chapter 5: Consultation only for people Counselor problem – What I learned after opening the Smart consultation room – *
Employee mindset from the perspective of a business manager Consultations range from “washing dishes” to “fundraising”
A counselor who says, “I can’t accept that consultation.”
80% of people’s fog clears just by listening to them for 30 minutes. Is counseling effective? Is coaching effective?
The key is not to decide on the number of consultations.
The most difficult thing is the confusion among middle managers. Organizational issues revealed through consultation between large companies and SMEs
Counseling reservations concentrated on Mondays
From a startup company whose concerns gradually change before going public *Chapter 6: From the field of Smart Counseling Room – Voices from human resources and labor personnel, consultants, and counselors -* Just hearing the counselor’s voice brought tears to my eyes. Voice of the consultant: The session that changed me at 65 years old and retiring on the 15th of next month.
Voice of the consultant: The feeling of not being able to tell my boss has cleared up.
Voices from those who consulted I know it would be better to consult, but I can’t.
Voice of the consultant Balancing childcare and work is more difficult than expected
Consultant’s voice: The most important thing is to “consult.” What I can do as a person in charge of human resources and labor who couldn’t do anything
Counselor’s Voice: What I can do as a third party in labor relations Counselor’s voice: The importance of providing career counseling rather than recruitment
*Chapter 7 The future role of personnel and labor personnel personnel required – A new approach to human capital -*
The meaning of “employee” in company management
The role of “employee” within “individual”
