The mental health needs of many Hurricane Katrina survivors remain largely unmet-and disproportionately so for marginalized, disenfranchised segments of the affected population. The present volume examines key "lessons learned" and offers a blueprint for better meeting the needs of children, families, and communities post-disaster through well-timed, targeted responses and interventions.
