Terror and disasters impacting young people Siri Thoresen ISTSS/ESTSS conference, 23 September 2013

The bombing at the Governmental Quarter The shooting at Utøya Island 22. July

This is our country

Most young people facing trauma: Interpersonal violence, accidents, sexual abuse, traumatic loss, violent crime… and more

So why focus on terror and disasters?

First response to trauma: Evidence-informed strategies (some examples) Intervention principles 1) a sense of safety, 2) calming, 3) a sense of self– and community efficacy, 4) connectedness, and 5) hope. (Hobfoll et al, 2007) Psychological First Aid (National Child Traumatic Stress Network and National Center for PTSD, Brymer et al, 2006) Skills for Psychological Recovery (Berkowitz et al, 2010) European consensus report (TENTS; Bisson et al, 2010) NICE guidelines (British National Institute for Clinical Excellence, 2005)

First response to trauma: Evidence-informed strategies The challenge is: A need for more evidence, but also – making use of existing knowledge?

Mass trauma: Some additional challenges (examples) Public events Media attention Organizing nationwide interventions
