Psychologists are experts in working with people to resolve the traumas and tragedies that affect their lives. Psychologists help by providing:
- Support for individuals, families and groups
- Public education to prevent or minimize the impact of trauma
- Referral to community resources
- Research-based knowledge on effective coping for individuals, health care professions and the community at large.
Trauma impacts an entire community during disasters (terrorist threats and time of war). Some psychologists extend their professional efforts beyond the consulting room to help the broader community. Such a community effort is reflected in the work of those psychologists who have teamed up with the American Red Cross to form the Disaster Response Network.
