Context Behind the Mentor Role

Mental Health Lab has a mission to eliminate the barriers associated with disabilities, advocating for a society where individuals can live and work authentically, regardless of their background. With this vision at its core, the company has developed a range of initiatives, including an IT school for job-seekers with disabilities, Art Kids therapy, and a cloud service for hiring disabled individuals. Since its inception, the focus has been on maximizing the uniqueness and potential of each individual, rather than judging them by their academic credentials or disabilities.

Kotoku’s new role as a mentor on Nontitle was made possible due to the alignment of the show’s vision with the company’s principles.
