Because they are temporarily confidential or trying to control, they open the way by letter. In this form, it is a preliminary understanding of the situation, calming and stabilizing emotions, but it is impossible to conduct in-depth consultation face to face, so it eventually leads to face-to-face consultation in the clinic.

They make special calls to the psychological counseling clinic for emergencies, complaints and help.
