N2  - The recent Southeast Asia tsunami confronted countries with the challenge to provide mental healthcare to children and adolescents who experienced loss, displacement and disruption of daily lives. The region that was affected is resource poor, however a great deal could be learned about the needed approaches to care, and the cautions that had to be exercised to avoid doing harm. The experience highlights the need to enhance the capacities for appropriate needs assessment, diagnosis, triage and post-disaster support in terms of schooling and employment.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
