These accounts areprovided with the goal of informing psychologists and other mental health providers about the role ofvolunteers from a frontline perspective. The authors offer these observations as a compliment to formaltraining in disaster preparedness that psychologists might receive for volunteer service in the wake of adevastatingdisaster.Specifically,theauthorsdiscussthetrainingtheyreceived,thesettingsinwhichtheyworked, and the client needs and mental health skills they used to meet those needs. Last, the lessons theauthors learned about providing disaster mental health services are discussed. It is hoped that theseobservations might inspire others to lend their expertise and compassion in response to future cata-strophic events.Keywords: disaster mental health, Hurricane Katrina, psychological first aid}, number={1}, journal={PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGY-RESEARCH AND PRACTICE}, author={Haskett, Mary E. and Scott, Susan Smith and Nears, Kennard and Grimmett, Marc A.}, year={2008}, month={Feb}, pages={93–99} } @article{haskett_nears_ward_mcpherson_2006, title={Diversity in adjustment of maltreated children: Factors associated with resilient functioning}, volume={26}, DOI={10.1016/j.cpr.2006.03.005}, abstractNote={Many decades of research indicate that physical abuse and neglect are associated with substantial risk for maladaptation across many developmental tasks of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Recent investigations, however, indicate that in spite of elevated risk for negative outcomes, some abused and neglected children demonstrate relatively positive adjustment and success in developmental tasks. An overview of studies of resilient functioning among maltreated children is provided, and results indicate that although a proportion of maltreated children do appear to be resilient to harsh and inadequate caretaking, resilient functioning might be short-lived and/or limited to single areas of functioning. A summary of factors associated with resilient functioning among abused and neglected children is provided. Such factors include individual child characteristics (e.g., self-regulatory processes), features of the child's family context (e.g., supportive parenting), and experiences in the broader environment (e.g., close friendships). Methodological considerations and recommendations for further research are provided, and implications of this literature for clinical and policy applications are presented.}, number={6}, journal={Clinical Psychology Review}, author={Haskett, M.
