Human Development

children as victims of natural disasters

In times of natural disasters, much attention is paid to adults, but what about the children? This fact sheet provides hints for parents and other adults who care for children to talk with the children and to help the children cope. The information in the fact sheet could be broken down into smaller segments if only one type of exposure applies to the target group.

Children as Victims of Natural Disasters

About "Human Development"

The mission of the Extension Human Development specialty is to maximize the psychological, social, physical, and emotional well-being of Indiana residents. Extension Human Development provides non-formal educational opportunities that increase knowledge, influence attitudes, teach skills, inspire aspirations, and encourage behavior changes .

In Human Development, we cover the topics of Child Care, Parenting, Families, and Aging.

 

educational approach

Extension approaches education from a human development standpoint by focusing on the interactions of children, adults, and families and the positive and negative situations in which they live. Through relevant and meaningful educational programs and resources, Extension works to improve challenging situations and strengthen positive ones.
