1 RECOVERY FROM TRAUMA Many people live through trauma and are able to reconstruct their lives without additional help 20/60/20 Rule: About 20% of those experiencing trauma will adapt and return to normal function within a short period of time; About 60% will experience some type of stress reaction that will, for a period of time, impair function; About 20% will suffer extensive impairment in one or more of their life functions

2 HELPING CHILDREN AFTER DISASTER: RECOMMENDATIONS Meet and greet students Remain calm and reassuring Acknowledge and normalize feelings/reactions Encourage expression about disaster-related events Promote positive coping and problem-solving skills Emphasize children’s resiliency

3 HELPING CHILDREN AFTER DISASTER: RECOMMENDATIONS Listen to and observe children’s behavior. Be sensitive to the disruption that relocation may cause. Consider the developmental level and unique experiences of each child. Involve students in recovery-related activities/projects. Identify children at risk and make a referral to the appropriate school or community-based resource.

4 POST-DISASTER ACTIVITIES: CLASSROOM DISCUSSION Where were you during the hurricane? Who was with you during the hurricane? What do you remember about the hurricane? What was the worst part of your hurricane experience? How did you feel before, during, and after the hurricane?

5 POST-DISASTER ACTIVITIES: CLASSROOM DISCUSSION Do you know anyone who was injured during or after the hurricane? What did you learn from this experience? What would you do differently if another hurricane was to strike? What can you do to help others affected by the hurricane? How will this hurricane change you, your family, and your community?

6 Possible Response to Difficult Questions Be honest and open about what happened but not dramatic Be factual (The hurricane was a normal part of weather) Don’t deny the seriousness of the situation Support the child’s belief system (ex. Why did God let this happen? Response: Everyone has their own beliefs. What do your parents say about that?)
