Resources to Help Children in the Aftermath of a Hurricane

This Child Trends blog post provides resources to help children cope after a hurricane. Children often suffer more than adults when exposed to natural disasters, and 14% of children in the U.S. have experienced a natural disaster. The authors analyzed nine major themes from resources and research on how to help children recover after exposure to a natural disaster. Those themes include understanding that reactions to trauma differ, creating a safe environment where a child’s basic needs are met, and keeping children busy. The post concludes with links to additional resources for children and caregivers.
