TELL Survey: Lack of Mental Health Care in Japan
A survey conducted by TELL has found that few English-speaking Japan-based workers believe their employers provide them with adequate mental health care support; over 50 percent of respondents said their employers do not offer mental health care services at all. The majority of respondents to the survey, conducted online in English, also said they feel uncomfortable discussing mental health concerns in the workplace, and noted that even when mental health care services are offered, confidentiality is a concern.
