Support Phone/Chat
Foreign Women’s Association Paruyon hosts a support phone/chat
where you can talk about your concerns privately and anonymously.
All conversations are strictly confidential.
We speak Japanese and English.
We have more languages available through a reservation:
Chinese, Korean, Indonesian, Vietnamese,
Tagalog, and Spanish.
Trained peer supporters
Our volunteers are trained peer supporters. Our volunteers are foreign and Japanese women. We are not medical professionals, but we can connect you with them if you want us to do so.
We will listen to you, think together, and can help you find information.
Stress
Life in a foreign country can be stressful. On our support phone/chat, you can just talk to relieve stress.
Questions about life in Japan
You can ask questions about different aspects of life in Japan. For example, our callers have talked about children’s education, health care, marriage, divorce, job hunting, dating, neighbourhood relations, domestic violence, bullying, abuse, and cultural differences.
Life in a foreign country can sometimes be lonely, too. You are welcome to call us when you feel lonely and you just want to talk to someone.
We are here for you. Or you can talk with us if you want to organize your thoughts.
Help with the Japanese language
You can also talk with us if you have difficulties in reading or filling out documents in Japanese.
