Zenkaren, (National Federation of Families of the Mentally Ill in Japan)

About:	Zenkaren disbanded on 17 April 2007. Established in 1965, Zenkaren (National Federation of Families of the Mentally Ill) was the oldest and largest stakeholders organization for families of people with mental illness and the only organization officially designated for promoting vocational rehabilitation for people with mental illnesses. It had over 130,000 members and covered 1,600 associations nationwide. It operated 800 psychosocial sheltered workshops throughout Japan, where stigma largely prevents employers from hiring a person who has been treated for mental illness. Found to have misappropriated funds, Zenkaren was unable to meet its financial obligations and dissolved itself.
