🍀With Gratitude🍀 Therapeutic Care Free Trial Session Held

This time, the Certified NPO Japan Therapeutic Care Association (Headquarters: Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture) will hold a free trial session of "Therapeutic Care" to commemorate receiving a letter of appreciation from the Fukuoka Prefectural Governor as a "Volunteer Contributor to Social Welfare".

We, the Certified NPO Japan Therapeutic Care Association, received a letter of appreciation from the Fukuoka Prefectural Governor in fiscal year 2025, recommended by Dazaifu City, as a volunteer contributor to social welfare.

We are very happy and grateful that our association's persistent volunteer activities, which have continued for 27 years since the current honorary director, Michiyo Akioshi, was entrusted by the British Red Cross to popularize it in Japan, have been recognized.

This letter of appreciation was made possible by the recommendation from Dazaifu City, and we are filled with gratitude to Dazaifu City and the many people who have supported us so far.

The letter of appreciation was presented by former Dazaifu Mayor Daizo Kusuda at Dazaifu City Hall (December 2025).

Therefore, this time, we have planned a trial session to deliver warmth with hands full of gratitude.

Wouldn't you like to take a break and be healed by this gently stroking care born in the UK?

About Therapeutic Care®:
Meaning "care with therapeutic power," it is a touch therapy devised by the British Red Cross in 1996.
By gently stroking shoulders, back, and neck over clothes, it provides peace through the warmth of hands.
It is an easy and safe mental care that does not require changing clothes, nor the use of tools or medicaments like oils, and can be immediately provided in shelters or temporary housing.
