Social Help in Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Abstract

The article presents the fundamental characteristics of trauma, acute stress disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder, and describes the specific elements of post-traumatic stress disorder in childhood and adolescence. Consequently, it confirms the essential social and ethical principles involved, and with their help considers possibilities of providing social help and promoting prevention from the personalistic and Christian point of view. Children and adolescents, in particular, when exposed to traumatic and stressing events, respond better when they are supported by their own families or communities. It is very important that these stakeholders be encouraged and helped to accept such a vocation. It is essential to manifest solidarity and humanity to the afflicted, aiming to motivate them and provide them human, professional, social and spiritual accompaniment.
