Good evening! My name is Adele Cerletti, and I've recently been appointed director of Template State Psychiatric Hospital. Now, I know people immediately get wary when they hear the words "psychiatric" and "hospital" in the same sentence, but let me assure you that I have no plans to commit any of you.
As... "Refugees", you've all been through difficult times, I'm sure. Being displaced is certainly a shock, and with the added difficulty of whatever hardships you've suffered through at home, I and the other doctors have decided to offer free counseling.
Note that I said counseling - simply talking. Oftentimes people find it much easier to speak with a psychiatrist or psychologist than talking to family or friends, as doctors never think any less of them, and as we are legally bound to an oath of confidentiality, nothing you say to us can leave the office, unless you specifically tell us otherwise.
So, I won't be hauling anyone off to the nearest padded room, or filling you all up with tranquilizers. Rest assured that we'll only be discussing whatever it is you want to discuss.
If you're at all interested, please make an appointment. Or, if there are any questions, shoot.
