[psych-hr] Two guides on traumatisation (in English and Spanish)

Your members may be interested in two documents dealing with traumatization:
Coping With Disaster (also available in Spanish as "Enfrentando El 
Desastre") is a guidebook to psychosocial intervention. It is aimed at 
mental health workers and at others, such as health care workers, teachers, 
and religious leaders who wish to assist survivors of a disaster. "A Guide 
for Humanitarian, Health Care, and Human Rights Workers" is a guidebook for 
staff (paid and volunteer) of humanitarian aid, health care, human rights 
organizations and others, such as journalists and development workers who 
deal on a day-in-day out basis with survivors of disasters. It includes 
sections on the effects of trauma, ways of dealing with traumatized people 
(in the course of the ordinary work of these humanitarian workers) without 
retraumatizing them, and the problem of secondary (vicarious) 
traumatization of the humanitarian workers themselves. All three documents 
are available at http://www.mhwwb.org/disasters.htm. If anyone is 
interested in translating the Guide for Humanitarian, Health Care, and 
Human Rights Workers into Spanish (or other languages), I'd be very much 
pleased.
