Academic, state, and federal agencies collaborated over the last 9 years to improve disaster mental health services and evaluation. This process, which included literature reviews, a number of expert panels, and case studies, is described. The products resulting from this process have included the development of a systematic cross-site evaluation of the federally funded crisis counseling program and field guides for interventions aimed at providing services to distressed individuals in the immediate aftermath of disasters and to individuals needing resilience skills training weeks or months after the event. Future improvement of disaster mental health services calls for continued research, evaluation, training, and intervention development.
在过去的 9 年里,学术、州和联邦机构合作,以改善灾难心理健康服务和评估。本文描述了这一过程,包括文献回顾、多个专家小组和案例研究。这一过程的成果包括对联邦资助的危机咨询计划进行系统的跨站点评估,以及为在灾难发生后立即为受灾个人和需要在事件发生后数周或数月后进行恢复力技能培训的个人提供服务的干预措施制定现场指南。未来改善灾难心理健康服务需要持续的研究、评估、培训和干预措施的制定。
