摘要

Purpose of Review

The goals of this analysis were to identify practice elements frequently used in child mass trauma interventions and to determine if these elements differed across interventions with respect to type of event addressed.

Recent Findings

The most frequent elements used were psychoeducation for the child, affect modulation, relaxation, cognitive techniques, exposure, support networking, and narrative. The most frequently used elements were similar for political violence and natural disaster interventions but differed for COVID-19 interventions.

Summary

Similarities in elements used in political violence and natural disaster interventions reflect the all-hazards approach to mass trauma response. Differences for COVID-19 interventions may address distinctions between the pandemic and these events and underscore the importance of considering an expanded set of elements in future research. The findings suggest that characteristics of the event as well as the population receiving the intervention and the context should guide the selection of interventions and intervention elements.
