School-Based Family Counseling for Crisis and Disaster: Global Perspectives

Book Overview

School-Based Family Counseling for Crisis and Disaster is a practical handbook with a school-based family counseling and interdisciplinary mental health practitioner focus that can be used to mitigate crises and disasters that affect school children.

Anchored in the school-based family counseling (SBFC) tradition of integrating family and school mental health interventions, this book introduces interventions according to the five core SBFC metamodel areas: school intervention, school prevention, family intervention, family prevention, and community intervention. The book has an explicit "how to" approach and covers prevention strategies that build student, school, and family resilience for handling stress and interventions that can be provided during and immediately after a disaster or crisis has occurred. The chapter authors of this edited volume are all experienced professors and/or practitioners in counseling, psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, teaching, and educational administration.

All mental health professionals, especially school-based professionals, will find this book an indispensable resource for crisis planning and developing a trauma-sensitive school.
