When COVID-19 first emerged in Wuhan, psychologist Wang Yi and her team rode the storm with courage and compassion. 🧠💪 From late-night counseling calls to braving quarantine hospitals, their mission was clear: no one should face pandemic trauma alone.
The February Storm ☔️
As cases surged in February 2023, Wang worked overtime to calm terrified patients and families. \"I’d hear voices shaking through the phone,\" she recalls. Despite risks of infection, her team visited hospitals to provide face-to-face support—a move she calls \"the most human thing we could do.\"
Live-Streams & Lifelines 📱
Wang turned to TikTok-style live streams, sharing bite-sized mental health tips like \"5-minute breathing exercises\" and \"how to talk to kids about COVID.\" The videos went viral, becoming a lifeline for millions stuck in lockdown.
Quiet Phones, Hopeful Hearts 💖
Today, with fewer calls coming in, Wang sees it as a victory: \"Silence means Wuhan is healing.\" But her work continues, proving that even in darkness, empathy lights the way. 🌆✨
