TELL celebrates its 50th year next year. Executive director Giles Duke came on today and enlightened us about the inner workings of the non-profit organization that provides mental health lifeline and clinic services. Giles was born in Santiago, Chile, and his family moved to Japan for his father's diplomatic posting, where Giles attended the NIS and YIS. Giles returned to Japan during the "bubble" era and worked in various industries using his bilingual skills. At 60, Giles joined TELL, and as COVID times hit, their services became vital to resolving the surge in mental health issues.
