After disaster - coping with disaster resource for schools

After Disaster: Responding to the psychological consequences of disasters for children and young people, by Peter Stanley and Sarah Williams
NEW ZEALAND COUNCIL FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
WELLINGTON, 2000
In the aftermath of the Christchurch earthquake, NZCER is making available for free download a book to help schools, libraries and parents support students.
After Disaster was published by NZCER Press in 2000 and written by registered psychologists Peter Stanley, now senior lecturer, Department of Human Development and Counseling, The University of Waikato, and Sarah Williams.
Described by the authors as a psychological first aid guide, it contains research-based information to help teachers, librarians and parents to understand children’s likely immediate and longer-term responses to disaster. It includes ideas of questions to prompt classroom discussion, and activities to help students work through their experiences.
Parents, Libraries and Schools are welcome to download all or parts of the book, and to share it with their communities. Go to http://www.nzcer.org.nz/pdfs/after_disaster_web.pdf
