The Mental Health Okamoto Memorial Foundation pursues a wide range of programs and initiatives in support of its primary emphasis, helping people build and maintain mental health. The Foundation awards grants for psychotherapeutic research into methods of overcoming neurotic disorders, and for activities that increase public awareness of these treatments. We sponsors seminar and issue publications aimed at helping people suffering from neurotic symptoms. Our outreach extends to cyberspace with the online gathering known as the “Psychological Experience Forum.”
