General
A natural disaster not only leaves a trail of property destruction
in its wake, many times it leaves thousands of its victims with
a damaged sense of balance. In addition to restoring buildings
and replacing material possessions, during the recovery period,
victims may need to devote time to restoring their own emotional
equilibrium. This can be especially important for children who
do not have years of life experience to guide them.
