Teacher-mediated intervention after disaster

Teacher-mediated intervention after disaster: a controlled three-year follow-up of children's functioning Children who had survived an earthquake in Turkey were evaluated three and a half years after the event, and three years after a sub-group had participated in a teacher-mediated intervention. The severity of post-traumatic grief and dissociative symptoms of the two groups was comparable. Teachers rated children who had been in the intervention significantly higher than the control group in terms of social behaviour, academic performance and conduct. Wolmer, L and others.
