THOMAS P. DEMARIA (tdemaria{at}liu.edu) is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and director of the Doctoral Psychology Psychological Services Center and Trauma Team at Long Island University Post, Brookville, N.Y. DAVID J. SCHONFELD is founder and director of the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement, pediatrician-in-chief at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children and chief of pediatrics at Drexel University College of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pa. Abstract Traumatic crises can have a lifelong effect. The majority of children, however, will not develop lasting problems following a crisis. The immediate goal of the school is to minimize the negative impact, support coping, accelerate adjustment, and instill confidence in students that school staff is available to address their needs. Support and assistance provided by school personnel can accelerate the natural recovery process and minimize the distress experienced by students.
