How Are People Affected by Disasters?

March 27, 2013 Aleah Leave a Comment

There are several physical, psychological, and social consequences when disasters strike. How severely people are affected by the trauma depends on several factors.

I'm a mental health counselor with years of experience handling physically and sexually abused women and children. I have training in solution-focused therapy and child-led play therapy. I conduct psychological evaluations for children presenting with a wide array of symptoms and concerns.

I'm also a trainer specializing on domestic abuse, child sexual abuse prevention, and gender-based violence. As a freelance writer, I write about psychology, solo travel, and running.
