Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

Chapter 9: Crisis Intervention

He Yuzhu is well aware that crisis intervention is a vital task in the field of mental health. He decided to cooperate with professional institutions to provide crisis intervention training for team members so that they can provide timely and effective help in emergency situations.

"Crisis intervention is an important skill for saving lives and we must master it," He Yuzhu emphasized at the team meeting.

Zhang Wei nodded in agreement. “Yes, we need to learn how to respond quickly in emergencies and provide support to those in need.”

Li Ming put forward specific training needs. “We should learn how to assess the severity of a crisis and how to stabilize an individual’s emotions until professional help arrives.”

Zhou Jie thought about how the team collaborates. “Team collaboration is very important in crisis intervention. We need to make sure everyone is clear about their roles and responsibilities.”

Zhao Ting is concerned about the practical application after the training. "After the training, we should conduct simulation exercises to ensure that we can skillfully apply the skills we have learned in real situations."

He Yuzhu concluded, “Very good, we will start from these aspects to develop our crisis intervention training plan.”

A few weeks later, He Yuzhu's team began professional crisis intervention training. The trainer taught key skills such as crisis assessment, emotional stability and emergency response through case analysis and role-playing.

"In crisis intervention, the first priority is to ensure the safety of the individual," the trainer emphasized during the presentation.

Zhang Wei played the role of a help-seeker in the simulation exercise. "I feel very desperate now. I don't know what to do."

Li Ming, as an intervener, responded quickly, "I'm here, I'll stay with you, and we'll find a solution to the problem together."

Zhou Jie was responsible for contacting professional assistance during the drill. "I have contacted professional psychological counselors and they will arrive soon."

Zhao Ting gave feedback and discussed with the team after the drill. "In the drill just now, our response speed was very fast, but we also need to pay attention to being more patient and meticulous in communication."

As the training progressed, He Yuzhu and his team gradually mastered the key skills of crisis intervention. They began to provide crisis intervention services in the community and successfully helped many individuals in psychological crisis.

A community member who had received help from the team said to He Yuzhu, “When I felt hopeless, you gave me support and hope. Thank you for everything you have done.”

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, “We are glad to help you. Remember, whenever you encounter difficulties, there are people willing to lend a hand.”

Through crisis intervention training, He Yuzhu and his team not only improved their professional capabilities, but also provided valuable mental health support to the community. They know that this is just the beginning, and they will continue to move forward on the road of mental health advocacy, using their professional skills to help more people overcome psychological crises.

Chapter 10: Ongoing Advocacy

He Yuzhu and his team have made significant achievements in their mental health advocacy, but they know that real change requires continuous efforts. They decided to normalize their advocacy work to ensure that the importance of mental health always receives widespread attention from society.

"Our work cannot stop. Mental health advocacy is a long-term task," He Yuzhu said firmly at the team meeting.

Zhang Wei nodded in agreement. “Yes, we need to make long-term plans to ensure that our message always reaches people’s hearts.”

Li Ming made a specific suggestion, "We can hold regular events, such as Mental Health Awareness Month or Mental Health Charity Run, to continuously raise public awareness."

Zhou Jie thought about how to innovate the way of publicity. "We can also use art forms, such as drama, music or painting, to express the theme of mental health."

Zhao Ting is concerned about the depth and breadth of advocacy. "We should not only advocate within the community, but also expand it to the broader social level, including policymakers and the media."

He Yuzhu concluded, “Great, we will start from these aspects to develop our ongoing advocacy plan.”

A few months later, He Yuzhu's team began to implement their ongoing advocacy plan. They held a series of events in schools, community centers and public places, including lectures, workshops and interactive exhibitions.

"Hello everyone, I am He Yuzhu. Today we are here to hold the opening ceremony of Mental Health Awareness Month. We hope that through this month's activities, more people will understand the importance of mental health." He Yuzhu delivered a speech at the opening ceremony.

A participant asked during the event, “Mr. He, as ordinary people, what can we do to raise awareness of mental health?”

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, “Everyone can play a role. You can help spread the importance of mental health by sharing mental health knowledge with your family and friends, participating in our activities, or even sharing relevant information on social media.”

Zhang Wei shared with participants in a workshop, “Mental health is not just an individual matter, it is related to the well-being of our entire society. We need to work together to create an environment that supports and understands mental health.”

Li Ming stressed the importance of mental health advocacy in a meeting with policymakers. “We hope to provide a more solid foundation for mental health education and services through policy-level support.”

Zhou Jie is in charge of organizing an art exhibition on the theme of mental health. “Art is a powerful tool for expressing emotions and thoughts. We hope that through these works, people will feel the impact of mental health more deeply.”

In a media interview, Zhao Ting called on society to continue to pay attention to mental health. "Mental health issues will not disappear overnight. We need continued efforts and attention to ensure that everyone can get the necessary support and help."

As the advocacy activities continue, He Yuzhu and his team have seen the gradual improvement of society's awareness of mental health. They know that this is just the beginning, and they will continue to move forward on the road of mental health advocacy, using various resources and platforms to make the importance of mental health deeply rooted in people's hearts.

A long-time supporter told He Yuzhu at an event, “Mr. He, your continued advocacy work is very meaningful and has changed the lives of many people. I am very happy to be a part of this movement.”

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, “We are glad to have your support. Only if we work together can we create a healthier society that understands mental health better.”

Through continuous advocacy, He Yuzhu and his team not only raise public awareness of mental health, but also provide more support and resources for those who need help. Although their journey is full of challenges, every step is a step towards a healthier and more harmonious society.

Chapter 1: The Call of Adventure

He Yuzhu sat in an old armchair in his study, holding a yellowed exploration journal in his hands. The moonlight from the window shone on the pages, reflecting the lines of text that recorded the secrets of ancient civilizations. His eyes wandered between the lines, and an irrepressible excitement surged in his heart.

"Yuzhui, you are reading those old books again." His wife Lin Fang walked into the study quietly, looking at his focused expression with a hint of pampering in her eyes.

He Yuzhu looked up, his eyes twinkling, "Fang, these are not just old books, they are keys to an unknown world. I can feel that there is a call waiting for me."

Lin Fang walked up to him and gently stroked his shoulder. "I know your heart is always far away. If you decide to go on an adventure, I will support you."

He Yuzhu held his wife's hand and nodded gratefully. He knew that no matter how far and dangerous his journey was, Lin Fang would always support him behind his back.

The next day, He Yuzhu gathered several of his old friends, and they sat in a corner of the cafe to discuss He Yuzhu's new plan.

"I plan to organize an expedition, the target is a legendary lost city." He Yuzhu spread out an ancient map on the table and pointed to an unmarked area.

Li Ming, He Yuzhu's college classmate and an experienced mountaineer, frowned. "This area has complex terrain and changeable climate, so the expedition is not easy."

Zhang Wei, a scholar who loves history, has a twinkle of curiosity in her eyes. "But if the legend is true, then we will have uncovered a thousand-year-old mystery. This will be a historic discovery."

Zhou Jie, a young photographer, is full of enthusiasm for this expedition. “I can use my lens to record every moment of this journey. It will be an unforgettable experience.”

Zhao Ting, a professional wilderness survival instructor, is more practical. "We need to be fully prepared, including equipment, food, medical supplies, and detailed emergency plans."

He Yuzhu listened carefully to everyone's opinions. "You are all right. We will form a diverse team, each with their own expertise. We will face challenges together and share the results of this expedition."

In the following weeks, He Yuzhu and his team began intensive preparations. They collected information, studied routes, prepared equipment, and conducted physical training. Everyone was full of anticipation and enthusiasm.

On the day of departure, He Yuzhu stood in front of his home, carrying his bag, and looked back at the familiar streets and Lin Fang's figure. He knew that this journey would be full of unknowns and challenges, but he also knew that this would be the most exciting adventure in his life.

"Yuzhu, come back early." Lin Fang's voice was choked with sobs.

He Yuzhu smiled at her. “I will, Fang. When I bring back the story, we can share it together.”

As He Yuzhu and his team set out on their journey, their hearts were filled with curiosity about the unknown world and a love of adventure. They knew that the call of this adventure would lead them to an extraordinary journey.

Chapter 2: First Expedition

He Yuzhu stood on the platform of the train station, with his expedition team beside him. They were about to embark on the first leg of their journey to the lost city. In the morning light, the train whistle sounded particularly loud, foreshadowing their upcoming adventure.

"Everyone, our expedition is about to begin." He Yuzhu looked around the team with a firm gaze, "Remember, we must trust and support each other."

Zhang Wei checked the backpack in her hand. "I can't wait to see the legendary city. The secrets of history are waiting for us to uncover."

Li Ming was checking the equipment. "Our equipment is ready, including tents, ropes and necessary climbing tools."

Zhou Jie adjusted his camera equipment, "I will record every wonderful moment of this expedition. This will be a legendary story."

Zhao Ting was concerned about the safety of the team. "I remind everyone again that safety comes first. We must carry our medical kits and emergency communication equipment with us."

The train slowly pulled out of the platform, and He Yuzhu and his team set out on a journey to an unknown land. After a few days of travel, they arrived at a small town near their destination.

"This is the starting point. From here we will enter the mountains." He Yuzhu said, pointing to a point on the map.

In the town, they met a local guide who provided some important information, “The place you are going to is very dangerous, but I can take you a relatively safe route.”

Zhang Wei curiously asked the guide, "Can you tell us more about the story of the lost city?"

The guide nodded. "That is an ancient legend. It is said that there are endless treasures hidden there, but some people also say that it is cursed."

Li Ming listened carefully. "We don't worry about the curse, but we do need to be aware of the possible dangers."

Zhou Jie said to the guide, "If you like, we can record this adventure together so that more people can know the story of this place."

Zhao Ting discussed the details of the trip with the guide, "We need you to lead the way and make sure we don't get lost."

Under the guidance of the guide, the expedition team began the real adventure. They crossed the dense jungle and climbed the steep mountains. Every step was full of challenges, but the team members overcame many difficulties with their respective expertise and teamwork.

"Look, there are some strange markings on the rock wall over there." Zhang Wei pointed to a rock wall, "This may be the clue to the lost city."

He Yuzhu carefully observed the markings. "These symbols may be ancient characters. We need to record them and study them when we return."

As the expedition progressed, they discovered signs of ancient ruins, which made them more confident that they were approaching their goal.

“We may have found a way into the lost city,” He Yuzhu told the team during a break. “But the journey ahead may be even more difficult.”

Li Ming encouraged everyone, “We have come so far, we can’t give up. We must persevere.”

Zhou Jie used a camera to record their findings. "These photos and videos will be the testimony of our expedition."

Zhao Ting reminded everyone to pay attention to their physical condition, "We must maintain our physical strength to ensure that everyone can return safely."

As night fell, the expedition team set up camp in a valley. Beside the campfire, they shared their experiences and discoveries of the day, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment and anticipation.

"Tomorrow, we may discover more amazing secrets." He Yuzhu looked at the starry sky, "This will be an important moment in our expedition."

The team members fell asleep in the warmth of the campfire and the tranquility of the starry sky. They knew that tomorrow's expedition would bring new challenges and discoveries. This expedition is not only an exploration of the unknown, but also a challenge and growth for oneself.
