After the earthquake, China mobilizes more mental health workers than ever:

“Help was available for 15-year-old Xiang Li, who along with 900 schoolmates was in class when the Juyuan Middle School collapsed. Pinned for three hours in the rubble, Xiang kept shouting encouragement to her friends. Out of her class of 66, she was among only 25 to survive. “I don’t have nightmares,” she told NEWSWEEK with a bold chirp in her voice. “The earthquake taught me to be brave.” But moments later she confided to Dr. Yuan Linfang, head of a psychological-counseling team from Henan, that she actually does suffer flashbacks and nightmares. He gently encouraged her to acknowledge her symptoms. “Some survivors act tough, but they really are having problems,” said Yuan, who heads a Henan crisis-intervention hotline organized by the Communist Youth League. Yuan has observed a number of traumatized reactions among Juyuan students, including one girl who couldn’t even bring herself to open a textbook. Many more fear returning to school.”
