The need for mental health resources to provide care to the community following large-scale disasters is well documented. In the aftermath of the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster on September 11, 2001, many local agencies and organizations responded by providing informal mental health services, including disaster mental health training for practitioners. The quality of these programmes has not been assessed, however. The National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University's School of Public Health reviewed disaster mental health training programmes administered by community-based organizations, professional associations, hospitals, and government agencies after September 11. Results indicate that the quality and the effectiveness of programmes are difficult to assess. A wide range of curricula and a widespread lack of recordkeeping and credentialing of trainers were noted. Most of the training programmes provided are no longer available. Recommendations for improving the quality of disaster mental health training programmes are provided.
大量文献都证实，在发生大规模灾害后，需要精神卫生资源为社区提供关怀。2001 年 9 月 11 日“世界贸易中心”灾难发生后，许多地方机构和组织纷纷作出回应，提供非正规的精神卫生服务，包括为从业人员提供灾难心理卫生培训。然而，这些方案的质量尚未得到评估。哥伦比亚大学公共卫生学院国家灾难准备中心审查了 9 月 11 日后社区组织、专业协会、医院和政府机构管理的灾难心理卫生培训方案。结果表明，方案的质量和效果难以评估。方案的课程千差万别，培训人员的记录和资质也普遍缺乏。大多数培训方案已不再提供。为提高灾难心理卫生培训方案的质量提出了一些建议。
