The Role of Psychologists in Post-Disaster Recovery

Natural disasters, like earthquakes, leave deep psychological scars. In Nepal, where communities face recurring trauma, psychologists play a vital role in healing. Post-disaster mental health interventions—such as trauma counseling and group therapy—help survivors process grief and rebuild resilience. Long-term recovery requires culturally sensitive approaches and community-based support. Psychologists must train local volunteers, advocate for mental health funding, and raise awareness about PTSD. Together, we can ensure no survivor suffers in silence.
