Through our partner organization in Japan (CIF Japan), we were asked to design a two week program in Disaster Management for Yoshiake Inoue. Mr. Inoue is a seasoned professional with extensive experience in Disaster Management and most recently has been involved with efforts related to the devastating earthquake in Japan.
Delegates
Yoshiaki Inoue is a social worker. Due to recent Tsunamis in Japan, Mr. Inoue wants to be better prepared in the future for any national disasters that take place in Japan. Additionally, he is interested in how the field of social work plays a role in natural disaster relief. After the Tsunami hit the shores of Japan, he worked with other foreign social workers who had different ideas on treating clients. Japanese social workers are trained to help people find jobs and housing. Currently, there is a Natural Disaster Relief Program that helps provide medical supplies and food. However, the organization does not provide grief counseling. He feels it is important for the Japanese to learn how to treat clients who deal with post traumatic stress.
