On-site counseling
Chen Erzhen, vice-president of Shanghai Ruijin Hospital and head of a medical team sent from Shanghai to support Hubei, set up a psychological counseling room at Wuhan City No 3 Hospital, where the team is working. Two of the team members are psychiatrists, who are providing counseling to local patients, their families and frontline medical workers.
Before the team, comprising 148 doctors and nurses, left Shanghai on Jan 28, it attended a training session, which dealt with psychological health management.
Outside the counseling room, there is a wall where medics can write good wishes. Therapists are also sharing music and video clips online, which helps relieve stress.
