Natural Disasters: PTSD Among Children

Natural disasters affect entire communities and can have devastating consequences. After such trauma, many children find that returning to structure and routine reduces anxiety and depressive symptoms. The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) developed a “psychological first aid” Tip Sheet for parents to use in the aftermath of natural disasters. Many parents question whether a specific behavior by their child is a “typical” response to such an experience; of course, they also want to know the most appropriate way to respond.
