The news is getting worse every day. Even if we are thinking that personally, because of age or risk factors, we are not in danger from Covid-19, we may be anxiously watching what is happening back home as infections and deaths increase. Most of us have grown up in a time of relative peace and stability and prosperity – but for now at least, that is changing. And as fragile humans whose lives can transform in a moment, we may be feeling some of the signs and symptoms of stress or anxiety or fear. Guangzhou United Family Hospital Mental Health Clinic is offering free telephone support sessions in English for anyone who may want to reach out and talk about their situation during this time of the virus.

Each session is a maximum of 30 minutes and can be arranged by calling (020) 3610-2326.  If your call is not answered please leave your name and number and we will call you as soon as possible to arrange a time for the telephone session. These calls are not for medical consultations. You will   be talking to a psychologist, not a medical doctor. For medical appointments please call our 24h service center 4008 919191.

最近的新闻一天比一天糟。即使因为年纪轻或低风险，我们感到自己没有受到新冠病毒的威胁，但仍有可能看到发生在家乡的那些有关感染和死亡的消息。

我们大多数人都成长在一个相对和平、稳定和繁荣的时代。但这段时间，情况正在发生改变。人类是脆弱的，我们的生活可能在一瞬间发生翻天覆地的变化，因此大家会感到压力、焦虑或恐惧。

为了帮助在疫情期间希望得到心理疏导和交流的人们，即日起，广州和睦家医院心理咨询科将提供免费电话咨询服务（仅限英语）。如果您想聊一聊这段时间的情况，欢迎拨打（020）3610-2326（ 周一至周五9:00-17:30）进行预约。每次心理咨询时间不超过30分钟。如果预约电话未被接通，工作人员会根据来电记录尽快回电，为您安排咨询时间。

温馨提示：如需预约其他医疗服务，请致电24小时服务中心4008 919191。
