This edited book reflects on the development and importance of psychosocial and mental health support in disaster interventions and management in India. Drawing on scientific studies and reports from the Indian context and Asian countries, this collection discusses the importance of psychosocial support for effective recovery, strengthening resiliency, and long-term sustainable development. The chapters examine the role of government's policies and humanitarian organizations in relation to critical situations due to disasters (earthquakes, floods, landslides, cyclones, tsunamis, conflicts), health emergencies (COVID-19), or human error (gas leak). An invaluable read for researchers, students, policymakers, and practitioners in the field of disaster management & risk reduction, mental health and psychosocial support, crisis intervention, community based interventions, and clinical services, this book collects examples and case studies to promote the development of four strategies of psychosocial support in disaster interventions: micro level interventions; standardized practice; knowledge sharing; government policy initiatives.
