Dear all,
We would like to express our heartfelt condolences and regrets for people who were killed or injured in the Manila hostage incident and their families. We share in the grief over the loss of lives in the tragedy.
As media coverage of such traumatic event is exhaustive, there is a range of emotional reactions that are normal following such exposure, including feelings of fear, anger, guilt, sadness, shock and numbness. These responses will most often subside over time within a few weeks.
If you needed further advices or support, please call the following hotline set up by the Critical Incident Team, Division of Clinical Psychology, Hong Kong Psychological Society and the Hong Kong Red Cross for further information:
Hotline: 2507 7750
Operation hours: 10:30am to 10:00pm (24-28 August 2010)
Regards,
AsianSTSS
亞洲創傷心理研究學會為菲律賓旅遊巴挾持事件中的死傷者及家人致以深切哀悼,並對事件中喪生的遇害港人感到痛惜與遺憾。
傳媒對事件廣泛的報導,目睹的市民難免感到不安,亦有機會出現各種強烈的情緒反應,包括震驚、恐懼、憤怒、焦慮、難過、悲傷、內疚、麻木,都是面對不尋常事件的正常反應。這些反應隨着時間,一般都會於數星期內慢慢平伏過來。
若你需要進一步的協助或查詢,可致電香港心理學會臨床心理學組轄下危急事故小組及香港紅十字會成立的「電話心理支援服務」熱線: 2507 7750 (運作時間為八月二十四至二十八日,早上十時半至晚上十時正)
