You can collaborate with any other user within your Neoserra database about a particular client.

The counselor wanting to collaborate can click the More|Collaborate option to send a message to the second counselor requesting assistance with a client:

From the collaboration interface you will select the fellow colleague that you want to engage with this particular client. This colleague must have a user account in Neoserra. In the Message box you can add your comments for your colleague:

Additionally, you can choose to send an email to the user at the email address assigned to their user account. The email message will also include a link back to the client record:
