No such ventures exist in Japan, that also focus heavily on mental health support. This system is similar to existing services available in Canada, such as Good 2 Talk. The difference is that this service will be catered specifically to the Japanese student market. All of the website and its interactions will be done in Japanese by Japanese staff and following Japanese law. Services will be asynchronous and offer daily and weekly tips through webinars and other chat and video interactions between student members and administrators. Registration will be mandatory, but how the students will use the platform will need to be researched in trials.
