The suggestion for the Construction of "Disaster Mental Health Care Training Manual''

Abstract

In this study 'mentl health care in time of disasterʼ is interpreted as 'to help victms find their own capabilities，become aware of circumstances they are in, and get rehabilitated on their own by utilizing their own resources. This shows that what is neccessary in time of disaster is not only taking care of the victims' mental and emotional aspects such as trauma, but also dealing with what is most needed as a whole, mentally, materially and informationwise. Therefore, this study tries to propose a 'Mental Health Care Training Manual'.
