In the wake of natural disasters, offering support is crucial, but many people are not equipped with the right tools to effectively guide clients through the trauma. While therapeutic skills are valuable, disaster response requires specific approaches to best serve those affected.

Join Dr. Wyss to explore key strategies for providing effective crisis support:

• Understanding the unique role of disaster response in comparison to traditional therapy
• Psychoeducation and resource connection during the immediate stages of disaster recovery
• Addressing the psychological impact throughout recovery
• Distinguishing between short-term therapy and longer-term support for clients
