The award ceremony On November 6th, Japan Mac Fukuoka received the “Fukuoka Prefecture Community Mental Health Council Chairman’s Award” and received the award at “Namiki Square” in Fukuoka City. Our contribution to mental health projects was recognized at the Fukuoka Prefecture Regional Mental Health and Welfare Conference.

Mr. Hiroaki Hasuzawa, chairman of the Fukuoka Prefecture Regional Mental Health Council, presented him with a certificate of merit for his “active efforts to develop mental health services in Fukuoka Prefecture, and his achievements are truly remarkable and serve as a model for others.” Ta. Summary of achievements Japan Mac Fukuoka opened an addiction recovery support facility in 2013 and has been engaged in support activities that meet local needs. Business activities include “consultation and support services,” “welfare services based on the Comprehensive Support Act for Persons with Disabilities, such as group homes and employment support,” “visiting nursing,” and “establishing an addiction recovery support center for illegally addicted people.” And so on. Furthermore, we actively engage in training sessions for families, the development of self-help groups, and training and awareness activities for citizens and professionals, playing an important role in supporting recovery from addiction.

About Japan Mac Fukuoka A lifestyle training office located in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture that primarily provides support for recovery from addiction. We also have an employment support office, a type B employment support office, a counseling room, and a visiting nursing office. Recovery from addiction does not mean returning to a state where you were able to get along well with the person you are addicted to. It means being able to maintain an unhindered lifestyle without having to rely on anything. Each of Japan Mac’s facilities helps addicts who have difficulty living recover and achieve a bright future.

We have provided support to people and their families facing such issues in cooperation with related organizations. In the Fukuoka area, we also provide support for people addicted to meth, and actively incorporate counseling and home-visit nursing care. Although many consultations are received from all over the country, it is difficult to develop facilities in small populated areas, and the current situation is that the accumulation of experience and the construction of a recovery support network are insufficient. In order to compensate for this, Japan Mac Fukuoka and Kitakyushu Mac are supporting small local governments, aiming to improve the system in which addicts can recover in each region, and provide long-term backup support so that recovering addicts can support their local communities. .
