Abstract

This article provides a synthesis of the literature addressing the psychological and social effects on children and adolescents after disasters, and the factors that contribute to protecting this population from experiencing related symptoms. Clinical implications are presented for health care providers to reduce the possibility of long-term psychopathologies based on the National Commission on Children and Disasters 2010 Report.
