The establishment of acute psychological crisis intervention team should be mainly based on psychiatrists in mental health institutions in disaster-stricken areas, supplemented by psychiatric nurses, psychological counselors and social workers. After forming a psychological crisis intervention team for emergency training, they can immediately engage in psychological crisis intervention for earthquake relief.
Areas without psychiatric institutions should promptly request assistance from the health administrative department.
Other mental health institutions in non-disaster areas should actively organize reserve medical teams, conduct training in a timely manner, and be ready to support psychological rescue in the acute phase and mental health reconstruction in the recovery phase. The psychological crisis intervention medical team should be under the command of the health administrative department, obey the unified command and bear corresponding responsibilities.
