When disaster strikes, survivors suddenly find themselves in a
world that has become confusing and unfamiliar. Such traumatic
events impose severe psychological strain on every member of a
community, but children are a particularly vulnerable group
requiring special attention. Children and Disasters addresses the
needs of this specific population by examining the impact of major
disasters on the mental health and emotional functioning of
children. The programs described in this book are designed to
provide early intervention to children and families undergoing
stress reactions to a catastrophic event. The authors offer
interventions aimed at enhancing the skills of mental health
professionals, educators, and peer counselors in responding to the
intensified demands of disasters. These intervention approaches
provide information regarding the event itself, reinforce the
legitimacy of the anxieties and fears that children and their
families are experiencing, and encourage the expression of feelings
in group and individual settings (for the younger child, through
drawing and play). Furthermore, they build on the coping capacity
of individuals and theirs families and provide concrete coping
skills and techniques to alleviate stress reactions. The
intervention model can be applied to programs for individual
children and their families, multi-family groups, and groups for
children in mental health, educational, and community settings. The
practical "hands-on" approach to program design makes this book an
attractive resource for mental health professionals, social
workers, rehabilitation specialists, professional and volunteer
counselors, and suicide intervention workers. It will also be
useful for school personnel, including teachers, school counselors,
and administrators, as well as federal and state emergency planners
and coordinators.
