Abstract:
Home fires are more pervasive than large scale disasters and often lead to property loss and displacement. However, the effects of home fires on youth are often overlooked, especially several months after the fact. In this research, Drs. Greenberg and Keane examine the effects of home fires on youth and suggest practical strategies for intervening.

Volume 10, Number 2, 2003
Youth are often exposed to trauma. At times, this trauma is well known (such as a car accident), at other times it is unseen (such as domestic violence). The impact of these traumas can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder and have an effect on an adolescent's functioning in society as well as in school.
