What happens to a person, a child after most everything in their lives have been wiped out by a natural disaster?
After the basics of food, water and shelter have been stabilized, who tends to the inner landscape of the children and caregivers? Second Response, an initiative of the Fortunate Blessings Foundation.
Join us as Dr. Michelle Wang, who worked with Second Response in the Philipines where she, Jonah Spear and Dr. Rony Berger worked with children, psychologists, and other care givers to prevent Post Traumatic Stress from becoming PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) through PLAYshops. PLAYshops are carefully crafted to offer children a safe space to release trauma, through movement, sound and play.
Second Response, founded by William Spear has offered healing relief to over 100, 000 children from Hurricane Sandy, to Newtown, to Fukishima, Indonesia and beyond. If you want to support their efforts help us prevent PTSD in children and families around the world please consider making your tax-deductible donation by clicking here.
