Tokyo, Japan — In May 2007, the Canadian Institute of Stress / Hans Selye Foundation launched its first formalized international affiliate relationship, The Tokyo-Selye Center (TSC). The TSC has offered us a “demonstration model” opportunity to evaluate the viability of such relationships. Building on our Institute and Foundation’s work, the Tokyo-Selye Center has continued to:
Conduct applied research concerning workplace change and stress in Japan.
Train and certify professionals in appropriate brief counseling methods.
Certify professionals for, and to directly provide workplace diagnostics, training, coaching and consulting services
The Center is headed by
Professor Takashi Sato
an extensively experienced industrial psychologist who has been trained by and worked closely with the Canadian Institute of Stress since 1996. You are invited to visit the Tokyo-Selye Center’s Japanese language homepage at www.sipeselye.co.jp — Japanese-to-English translation is available from a Google URL search. Three years’ collaborative evaluation of the TSC experiment have clearly demonstrated effectiveness in the transfer and cross-cultural integration of the knowledge, instruments and methods developed by Dr. Selye’s Canadian Institute of Stress.
Damaam, Saudi Arabia
In January 2011, the Canadian Institute of Stress / Hans Selye Foundation accredited the Vital Work Center to serve the Arab world. The Vital Work Center, headquartered in Damaam, Saudi Arabia is directed by Dr. Abdullah Almulhim MD., SWC(c) an internationally experienced workplace psychiatrist and trainer. Based in his 16 years’ work with the petrochemical leader, Saudi Aramco, Dr. Almulhim had become aware of the close links between a company’s success with on-the-job health, and engagement of staff at all levels. In 2007, Dr. Almulhim began a worldwide search for best-of-breed resources to safeguard these corporate vital signs in the Arab world. By 2009, his research gave top priority to the work of the Canadian Institute of Stress. Leading edge applied science, he concluded, tempered by applications in a broad range of private and public sector workplaces in Canada and in Japan would be essential to Arab world success.
