Robin Gurwitch Quotations

Mental health that's disaster-related is very different from traditional mental-health services.

If we're looking at the long term, the concern will be how this event will shape children's view of the world around them and of their future.

It does not mean they will not have difficulty, it does not mean they will not need help, but the good news is that most children are not likely to develop PTSD.

It's going to be very hard for children to make sense of this. Young children simply don't comprehend that everything is gone.

It's going to be a day-by-day, step-by-step, slow process.

Children are a particularly high risk group because they don't have a full understanding about what's happening.
