Terrorism, Trauma & Tragedies: A Counselor’s Guide to Preparing and Responding, Third Edition
The American Counseling Association Foundation (ACA), has recently published it’s third edition on terrorism, trauma and tragedies, which focuses on current events, the field of disaster mental health, and how counseling professionals respond to various forms of disasters, and set strategies/ techniques for coping before, during, and after a traumatic occurrence.
The first two editions focused on events like the Columbine High School shootings, and the aftermath of September 11. This third edition has been revised to reflect more recent tragedies (Hurricane Katrina, the devastating hurricanes in New Orleans and Haiti, the Gulf Coast, Multiple tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, etc.), to show the dramatic growth in knowledge and experience within the field of disaster mental health. The goal of these editions are to share experiences, strategies, and lessons learned from the front lines, in hopes of ensuring that counseling professionals are well-prepared for future events that lie ahead.
This book is a collaboration of 51 authors including XBRM’s Steven Crimando, and Cynthia Simeone. Their contribution to this edition, Coping with Financial Crisis, focuses on the correlation between financial collapses and pandemics.
Excerpt:
“A great deal of time, effort, and money has been spent in the United Stated and abroad developing plans and procedures to mitigate the effects of a pandemic on the workplace. The financial crisis has triggered many of the same workplace dynamics anticipated by pandemic planners, including high levels of stress and fear; diminished or depleted workforce; decline in retail, travel, entertainment, construction, and many other economic sectors; escalating unemployment; and disruption or closure of financial institutions.”
