How Schools Can Help Children Recover from Traumatic Experiences: A Tool Kit for Supporting Long-Term Recovery. December 2005.
- "This tool kit is designed for schools that want to help students recover from traumatic experiences such as natural disasters, exposure to violence, abuse or assault, terrorist incidents, and war and refugee experiences. It focuses on long-term recovery, as opposed to immediate disaster response. To help schools choose an approach that suits their needs, the tool kit provides a compendium of programs for trauma recovery, classified by type of trauma (such as natural disaster or exposure to violence). Within each trauma category, we provide information that facilitates program comparisons across several dimensions, such as program goals, target population, mechanics of program delivery, implementation requirements, and evidence of effectiveness. We explain how to obtain each program's manuals and other aids to implementation and also discuss sources of funding for school-based programs.”
