But emergencies also have a way of amplifying the dedication of clinicians, scientists, and public health professionals. One of the most remarkable responses to these recent events has been the emphasis that groups and governments have placed on the mental health consequences of these disasters. Examples include the Australian Government putting AU$76 million of funding specifically towards mental health and wellbeing, and the calls by researchers and clinicians in China for better mental health services for those impacted directly and indirectly by COVID-19.
