There are already many public support centers for Hikikomori people and their families all across the country. Every prefecture and major city has Mental Health and Welfare Centers and Public Health Centers. MHWC and PHC provide consultation services, Hikikomori day care, and classes for families of Hikikomori people, and so on.
In addition, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is to establish Hikikomori Regional Support Centers in every prefecture from April 2009 to March 2010. The aim is to discover and cope with Hikikomori problem.
I want to write an outline of HRSC but can't, because I can find few information on HRSC. As far as I know, many prefectures have not established HRSC yet.
But Shinji Asonuma, a MHLW officer, says in Upper House's Health, Labour and Welfare Committee on November 2008 that MHLW expect HRSC to strengthen the relationship between centers concerned with Hikikomori problem and, what is more important, to serve as per primam consultation services specialized in Hikikomori problem. Asonuma also says HRSC is expected to be staffed with "Hikiomori support coordinators". And HRSC is to be operated by prefectural governments and major cities. But, based on the situation in each area, it can be operated by public organizations and entrusted to private organizations.

I think I can't work. I guess many or probably most Hikikomori people also think so.
Most non-Hikikomori people may feel strange, because they think Hikikomori people can work but don't do.
If I confess I was grown up in a fatherless family, non-Hikikomori people may think Tomishige have no conscience, because he doesn't work in spite of his family's situation.
I feel there is a huge perception gap between I, a Hikikomori person, and others.
Why do they think differently? Maybe it's difficult for healthy non-Hikikomori people to understand the problem. Maybe people tend to think other people must be able to do what I'm able to do. Maybe I don't have the guts.
I feel it's a very tall order for me to go outside, look for a job and work. When I once wrote in another blog I explore possibilities of making a living from affiliate advertising, readers of my blog (non-Hikikomori people) commented it's very difficult. I also think so. But unlike readers of my blog (non-Hikikomori people), I think it's more difficult to go outside, look for a job and work.
Non-Hikikomori people may think Tomishige have no conscience, because he doesn't work in spite of his family's situation (fatherless family). But my aim in life has always been to work hard, married to a reliable spouse and support my family since childhood. I feel remorse. I worried about my family, but I can't take any action. I feel remorse.
