Specialized consultation for young people

The Kanazawa Ward Office provides specialized consultation for young people twice a month.
We are consulting with you about a variety of problems, such as truancy and Hikimori, who are suffering from human relationships, having difficulty living.
We will think together while valuing the feelings of the person and family.

Oh I'm locked up in my room and don't meet my family.
Oh I feel anxious about going out
Oh I don't know how to treat myself
Oh I don't know what to do to get out of society
Oh It seems difficult for family members to change the situation alone.
Oh I'm worried about the future if left unchecked.
