The Gifu JET Stream
A blog brought to you by your PAs and RPAs to keep you updated on Gifu JETs.
In response to calls for greater mental health support, CLAIR has made some changes to the JET Mental Health Counseling services. The two major changes are:
If you don't want to go through CLAIR, other JETs have recommended an app called Betterhelp. For only about 3000円 a month you can have counseling by text messaging, video chat or phone. The benefit of this versus the CLAIR online counseling is you can set this up without your CO or PA involvement and you can be guaranteed one counselor throughout the time using it, where as with the CLAIR service you do not always have this guarantee.

We would love to have you join us as a volunteer at the 6th Annual Gifu Prefectural High School English Camp!
You may be wondering... what is English Camp? English camp is a two day event for high school students from all over Gifu Prefecture. The camp was started as an initiative by the JET Prefectural High School ALTs 5 years ago, and is completely plan and run by JETs. That being said, particularly if you are a volunteer from last year, and have ideas for changes to make the camp even better, feel free to e-mail Meryl with suggestions!
When and where?
What do Volunteers do? Day 1: There are two options for Volunteers. Please let me know which one you would prefer to do: 1. Be a group leader (no preparation needed)

Down! Where do I start?
It sounds pretty chill, but I’ve got a few questions…
Every year, English Camp is a blast for everyone involved and each year it gets better and better. More and more students sign up (last year we had about 100 students come!) and our volunteer group keeps getting bigger and bigger. It really makes a difference to the overall experience. We hope you can join us for this year’s English camp in July, and help us make it another memorable event! |
