Sixty-five qualified mental health consultants will offer free mental health services to more than 20,000 young adults aged 16 to 25 in Pudong, Xuhui, Luwan and Zhabei districts, Jie Fang Daily reported.

The 65 volunteers will not only provide free mental health consultation and vocational guidance for young adults in the communities who are out of work or unable to go to school, but will also offer suggestions to community staff on affairs related to young persons.

There are presently 514 staff working with the young adult community in 19 districts in Shanghai.  They are very often over-whelmed by certain difficulties because they lack knowledge and skills in psychology.  Access to these experts on mental health will help to compensate for these shortages and help the youth to enjoy better lives.
