In
Mexico and South America trauma treatment training has been effective
because it not only teaches the trainers, who work in the clinics
but Healthcare practitioners in the field who treat the populations.
ACT has programs that work in very short periods of time for health
care professionals to begin to alleviate the major effects of trauma.
ACT has programs to help educate parents how to help their children
cope with trauma. There is a lack of programs in the United States
that can go into the school system and educate teachers, parents
and children so that they can reduce the traumatic effect of terrorism,
sniper attacks, and school shootings. All new phenomena in the US
but we have learned much from our work in Mexico, Central and South
America with the addition of kidnapping where violence and terrorism
in various forms have been active for many years.
