■Background
In the past, our organization used to provide consultation services 24 hours a day when our representative, Gen, first established the organization.
Even now, as times have changed, consultation e-mails often come in late at night. That is why, as a return to the starting point, we would like to revive Nihon Rikkouji, where people can consult anytime during the spring break period when the suicide rate is high.
