Psychological First Aid (PsFA) Certificate of Completion, Issued by the Australian Red Cross, Tomonori Tomura
[Newly Acquired Certification]
- PsFA (commonly known as PFA) Psychological First Aid: Completed Australian Red Cross PsFA Course
- Acquired by: Tomonori Tomura, President, Japan Management Research Institute LLC (https://www.jmri.co.jp/tomura.html)
Until now, I have prepared for crises and provided guidance by acquiring domestic qualifications such as Disaster Prevention Specialist, Chemical Substance Manager, Biohazard Response Qualification, and Radiation Protection Supervisor, as well as international anti-terrorism licenses.
At home, I act as the 'hospital director' for my wife's 'home hospitalization' during her battle with cancer and mental health challenges, balancing nursing care, childcare, housework, and work. In society, I focus on guidance for disaster prevention/mitigation, BCP, crisis management, and 'mental recovery', as well as psychological care such as 'psychological safety in the workplace' within the context of ESG and 'Business and Human Rights'.
To further prepare for crises affecting the 'mind', which is essential to us as human beings, I have now acquired the WHO-style Psychological First Aid (PFA) certification. I will strive to better support people's minds in times of family or social crises.
