Combined with the relevant theoretical knowledge and practical work experience of psychology, she conducted systematic counseling on how to understand and master students’ psychological problems during the epidemic, how to enhance emotional communication with students，how to do a good job in psychological counseling of students, and how to discover and identify the psychological crisis of students in time through love, contact, communication, attention and support.

This training was problem-oriented, with positive psychological counseling with technology as a means of communication, which is of guiding significance for the counselors to relieve their demand during the epidemic period, carry out epidemic prevention and control work, improve crisis management capabilities, and protect the physical and mental health of students.
