Description:
Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Postdisaster Distress (CBT-PD) is a time-limited, transdiagnostic approach to treating problematic symptoms following exposure to a disaster that can threaten functioning, well-being, and overall quality of life. CBT-PD has been shown to be effective across a range of disasters. The treatment program has four components: psychoeducation, relaxation, activity scheduling, and cognitive restructuring. Unlicensed providers can use skills in CBT-PD to help clients build resilience.

1) Describe the mental health effects of disaster

3) Demonstrate breathing retraining to a client
