Introduction of the Counseling Section

The goal of counseling for Ming Yang is to correct and guide students to build strong physical and mental health for future rehabilitation. Over the years, we follow the spirit of adaptation counseling and holistic care to help students become a person with robust physical and mental health naturally, happily, and adapt to society smoothly.
