from Part III - Regional and Country Case Studies on Social Justice for Youth
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 September 2020
This chapter describes the design, development, and implementation of the Cuban Children of Chernobyl Program from 1990 to 2011. This program reflected a model of specialized medical attention that fully incorporated psychological care alongside a multidisciplinary approach that follows the Cuban model of family medicine. A primary strength of the model is that the psychosocial aspect is considered central to crisis intervention. The chapter contends that the central activity of disaster response should involve psychological and social preparation at all levels and with all actors during each moment of the disaster reduction cycle.
