In the wake of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the people of Port-au-Prince and the surrounding region have demonstrated the need for an unprecedented amount of support. While many organizations have stepped in and provided medical care, food, and shelter to the many victims injured and displaced by the damage, mental health care will soon need to be addressed in the region.

Though increased fear is a normal development of a trauma survivor, there are some things you can do to manage that fear.

Introducing...The New DartHeart Blog

After much thought and deliberation, we're changing up our style. From here on out, DartHeart's blog will be comprised of four separate views on trauma recovery and survivor issues. We selected ancient Greek names for three of our blog topics to reflect the long history of trauma, and by connecting a pseudonym to a blog topic, we aim to focus the reader's attention (that means you!) on the significance of the message we collectively wish to convey rather than on individual survivor authors.
