Psychology & Disasters
Disasters (e.g., natural disasters, technological disasters, terrorism, etc.) have a potentially highly traumatic impact on psychological functioning.
Emotional preparedness
Emotional preparedness aims at building people’s emotional resilience to combat the psychological trauma associated with disasters.
Research
We conduct research on people’s understanding of disasters and disaster-related emotions. Our focus is on children and adolescents’ psychological development.
Training
We develop training programs (patent pending) including ICT (Information and Communication Technology) to promote people’s understanding of disasters and disaster-related emotions.
