2. Combine formats: hotline + personal psychologist + support group.
3. Connect loved ones: Include a trusted person in the process for control and motivation.
4. Plan steps: fixed calls, meetings, reports in the application.
5. Do not be ashamed of repeated appeals: the course can take from 3 to 12 months.
