Japanese social workers hold free workshop for the community in Adelaide

"There are quite a few Japanese living in Adelaide. But we don't have counselling services and workshops here, conducted in Japanese and designed specifically for the Japanese immigrants."

Ms Chinami Klenovsky, Ms Junko Nishina and Ms Naomi Pietsch are Adelaide-based Japanese social workers. 

They noticed that the Japanese community in Adelaide didn't have access to counselling services and workshops which are designed specifically for the Japanese immigrants.  So they decided to team up and hold their first free mental health workshop conducted in Japanese.  

In the audio, Ms Klenovsky tells us about the workshop and what kind of topics they will talk about.  The three social workers are hoping to hold similar events in the future.
