The effects of a Hurricane Katrina will be long-lasting and the resulting trauma can reverberate even with those not directly affected by the disaster. This page includes information on general strategies for promoting mental health and resilience that have been developed by various organizations based on experiences in prior disasters. While each individual is affected differently by a disaster, certain groups may share common experiences.
