Journals Academic Psychiatry Volume 31 Issue 3

Hurricane Katrina was one of the largest natural disasters our nation has experienced. Katrina covered an area the size of the United Kingdom and displaced hundreds of thousands of people. In this volume, sensitive, dedicated clinicians and educators use their experience to find lessons for our academic community as well as for our entire nation. As educators for medicine and psychiatry, the lessons are important in sustaining a critical component of our health care system—the ability to educate and train physicians and those who give care to the mentally ill, often the most overlooked component of our health care system. Katrina affected all parts of New Orleans, as well as the entire Gulf Coast. Psychological first aid was an important component of intervention (1–3). The principles of psychological first aid are an evidence-informed approach to providing early intervention after disaster. Psychological first aid has five principles: Establishing safety (physical and psychological) Calming (decreasing arousal, establishing sleep patterns) Connectedness (interpersonal emotional support and instrumental access to knowledge and resources) Efficacy (believing one can respond/act and having skills to act) Hopefulness/optimism Each of these principles has a strong empirical base which supports its helpfulness in many stressful situations in most

As educators for medicine and psychiatry, the lessons are important in sustaining a critical component of our health care system—the ability to educate and train physicians and those who give care to the mentally ill, often the most overlooked component of our health care system. Katrina affected all parts of New Orleans, as well as the entire Gulf Coast. Psychological first aid was an important component of intervention (1–3). The principles of psychological first aid are an evidence-informed approach to providing early intervention after disaster. Psychological first aid has five principles: Establishing safety (physical and psychological) Calming (decreasing arousal, establishing sleep patterns) Connectedness (interpersonal emotional support and instrumental access to knowledge and resources) Efficacy (believing one can respond/act and having skills to act) Hopefulness/optimism Each of these principles has a strong empirical base which supports its helpfulness in many stressful situations in most
