COURSE OVERVIEW

Skills for Psychological Recovery (SPR) is designed to help children, adults, and families gain skills to reduce ongoing distress and effectively cope in the weeks and months following a disaster or trauma.

Based on an understanding that disaster survivors will experience a broad range of reactions (physical, psychological, behavioral, spiritual) over differing periods of time, SPR utilizes skill building that are helpful in a variety of post-trauma situations. It can be delivered in a variety of settings (e.g. schools, clinics, hospitals, evacuation centers, homes) and by any trained practitioner (no formal mental health or medical training is needed). Each of the six skills can be covered in one contact or meeting with a survivor.
