Some 1,500 volunteers offer psychological aid to troubled residents in their respective communities in Shanghai, the Jiefang Daily reports.

The volunteers are mainly social workers from 19 communities scattered around the city.

Experts point out that as the pace of Shanghai life puts greater daily pressures on people, many have few outlets to release their emotions.

Volunteers offer assistance in easing residents' worries and help them maintain a healthier mental state.
