Isi artikel

This article is a personal reflective account that describes the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the major university on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and surrounding communities. There is discussion of how a resident social work instructor constructed a multifaceted postdisaster response, coordinating, networking, and providing housing assistance and educational and clinical activities. Specific and practical educational, psycho-educational, and clinical interventions that proved most helpful are described. There also is discussion comparing postwar adjustment with post-Katrina adjustment, the nexus between post-Katrina responses, the Iraq War, and national policy, and posttraumatic growth at both individual and community levels.
