Katrina, ten years on: Young survivors still grapple with trauma

  • 9 years ago
In New Orleans, much of the city has been rebuilt ten years after Hurricane Katrina, and many residents have been able to return. But for some, the damage is invisible to the naked eye: it's psychological and can manifest itself through mental health disorders, academic failure or violence. Our team met with children and adolescents who experienced the worst of Katrina when they were very young and were left traumatised.
