Life is still challenging to the Survivors of the Sichuan Earthquake
and while construction goes on to help these people rebuild their lives, Psychological Counseling is being offered to assist the grieving families cope with the trauma that they have had to ordeal.

Many of the Survivors suffer from post traumatic stress disorder resulting in horrible nightmares and have recurring flash backs
from that terrible day.

and prayers.
