JAKARTA All Arema FC players are accompanied by psychologists when they hold training for the first time since the Kanguruhan Tragedy. The exercise was held by Tirtomoyo Field on Friday, October 21.

Psychologist assistance to players has been carried out a day before the exercise takes place. "Our team provides emotional stabilization with the aim that they can still carry out activities and carry out routine activities and undergo training," said psychologist Dian Wisnuwardhani, M.Psi., quoted on the Arema FC website.

The psychological condition of the player after the tragedy is indeed a special concern. For this reason, in order to facilitate the recovery of the psychological condition of the player, the practice activities must also take place behind closed doors.

This assistance is an important need so that players can adapt and start their daily activities normally. Counseling assistance is carried out in groups and personally.

The approach individually is considered very important because of the psychological impact that each player feels differently. Assistance will be carried out within at least two weeks according to the needs of the players.

Assistance is not only done through counseling in the room, but also during training.

"Physical assistance is carried out individually and in groups. This is done for two weeks and will continue according to the current needs of athletes," added Dian.

The tragedy of Kanjuruhan claimed as many as 134 lives. This incident made the national league competition stop until there was a significant transformation to national football.
