| Description: | Select Guide Rating Through heartbreaking insights, Melissa Glaser conveys the importance of meeting traumatized individuals where they are at in the process. Lessons learned can be used to create a universal community mental health disaster plan so leaders, therapists, and families know what to do the next time tragedy occurs. The tragedy of large-scale trauma has etched the names of cities on a national monument of heartbreak and senseless loss. First responders, carers and civic leaders are often left with the daunting task of navigating the emotional and physical aftermath and stitch their communities back together - a trajectory of healing that can take months and years. HEALING A COMMUNITY offers practical advice from one of the America''s preeminent community response and recovery leaders. The author is the coordinator of the Newtown Recovery and Resiliency Team (NRRT) - Newtown being the tragic location of the Sandy Hook massacre of primary school children. With this experience and as a psychotherapist with a focus on trauma, Melissa Glaser presents a unique set of pragmatic best practices that communities can learn from and immediately adopt. |
