Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to share ideas and techniques employed in an effort to provide mental health intervention following a mass casualty disaster. The information presented in this paper comes primarily from work done with the survivors of the bombing of the federal office building in Oklahoma City, OK, on April 19, 1995. One hundred sixty-nine people died and over 500 were injured at 9:02 of that day. Each of these individuals had families, loved ones, friends, fishing buddies, and multiple acquaintances, and the ripples of trauma generated by this powerful blast were felt nation wide and around the world.
