The inquiries we hear most

Something feels different on the phone but you cannot name it. A discharge date is set and nothing is arranged. A facility search has started and the options will not compare. You are overseas and unsure what you can realistically do from there. These are the most common starting points, and the stage where organized help changes the most. Send the situation as it is, unsorted.

When the parent does not know yet

Family-side consultations before the parent is told are normal, both with us and with Japan's public consultation services. Nothing you share reaches the parent. Early work usually focuses on what needs no consent at all: the written record, the contact map, and understanding what the system offers, plus how and when to raise the subject with the parent.

The first 30-minute consultation is free and does not assume an engagement. If the conclusion is that you can run the next steps yourselves, you leave with the sequence to do exactly that.
