About

A case-based, question-answer style course that should take about 50 minutes to complete. Upon completion of this module, learners will be able to: - Identify the potential behavioral health impacts of disasters on children, including signs and symptoms of medical traumatic stress and post-traumatic stress disorder. - Recognize risk factors and protective factors for disaster-related behavioral health problems in children. - Demonstrate familiarity with methods of fostering adaptive coping mechanisms in pediatric patients and their families throughout the disaster cycle. - Identify toolkits and other resources to share with families to help mitigate, recognize, and manage behavioral health problems related to a disaster. This module targets pediatric residents, however, you may find this helpful if you are a pediatrician, APP, nurse, or any medical professional that directly cares for children.
