LOLA JIANG

When I was an undergraduate, I was keen on exploring people's motivations and emotions, and how the environment affects them. To learn more about different kinds of people and the types of services currently available to them, I undertook a series of volunteer placements and research projects, such as volunteering at Nanjing Psychological Crisis Prevention Center and doing research for depressed undergraduates. I learned how self-reliant and self-empowering tools, such as mindfulness, can help people find a way of reclaiming inner psychological balance. These experiences led me to question how I could understand people better and how I could help them to live more fulfilling lives.
