Lu, the Wuhan counselor, said that after hearing from a nurse that there was a shortage of protective clothing at the hospital where she works, she told her that it would be put in contact with volunteers organizing donations of protective medical supplies.
"This is a way of providing psychological assistance, letting her know that she will get help and support in various ways," Lu said.
Experts said that commonly recognized processes involved in such counseling include stabilizing a person, acknowledging a crisis, facilitating understanding, encouraging effective coping measures, and recovery or referral procedures.
