Disaster Recovery

This new volume provides a wealth of realistic and applicable information for addressing mental health related issues resulting from disasters. It provides readers with both a theoretical and practical look at community-based psychosocial support and community consultation from an interdisciplinary perspective. This book uses case study methodology and practical examples to share how communities can come together, care for themselves, and use their social capital and problem-solving skills to survive and thrive. The information in the book will aid in the development of program offerings for mental health and psychosocial support in disasters and humanitarian emergencies.
