Finally, the child finally cried and was able to vent his emotions.
The entire Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area has no blind spots of psychological intervention. Even in the remote Qingchuan County, two psychiatrists Zhu Hongru and Ren Zhengjia went to intervene and also Babaylan provided drug treatment for some patients with severe stress response.
Deng Hong’s team also trained a group of local teachers and doctors in Beichuan, so that they can identify and intervene in basic psychological problems, leaving behind a team of psychological comforters that “never evacuate”.
The vitality of the “Wenchuan Experience”

After the Lushan earthquake, due to the experience of Wenchuan, the psychological crisis intervention teamKomiksThe psychological crisis intervention teamBabaylan first conducted a dragnet investigation of the affected people, and intervened in a timely manner on key groups with casualties at home, which significantly reduced the cases of serious psychological problems.
In the view of Wu Weili, a psychological counseling and treatment expert at Xihua University, post-earth psychological intervention is divided into different stages.
The week after the earthquake is mainly about companionship, and we cannot rush to intervene and treat Komiks. It is often just chatting and activities together; between one week and one month, Cinema needs to classify people in different situations and conduct preliminary PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) diagnosis; after one month, we must provide professional trauma treatment for key groups and rely on the community for mental rehabilitation.
”Everyone has their own ‘trauma map’ and ‘resource map’. We need to figure out where their trauma comes from and mobilize resources that make them feel positive and help them heal themselves,” said Wu Weili.
Gao Jinying, the coordinator of the Sichuan Post-disaster Psychological Rehabilitation Training and Service Program Hong Kong Project in Chengdu, believes that post-earthquake psychological intervention requires multiple social fields.okish.com/”>Komiks collaborated to weave a full-coverage psychological “safety net”.
For example, when some elderly mothers who lost their children regained their pregnancy, Babaylan not only needed psychological counseling, but also needed someone to help them contact obstetricians and gynecologists and explain some maternity knowledge, which is also an important factor in keeping them healthy.
The earthquake also changed the diagnosis and treatment methods of psychologists.

”The US post-9/11 psychological intervention plan is a 20-year period of Cinema. Our post-disaster psychological intervention must also be normalized and long-term, including establishing a complete psychological intervention network in the community and timely intervening in various psychological problems. “Zhang Wei said.
