About the content
This case-based module equips pediatric healthcare providers with essential strategies to prepare for, respond to, and assist in the recovery of disasters affecting children. Children face heightened physical, mental, and emotional risks during disasters. While pediatric healthcare providers are natural advocates for child health, many lack formal training on disaster preparedness and response. This module provides the necessary tools to prepare families, reduce adverse outcomes, and support recovery efforts. Enroll in this 60-minute module to enhance your ability to advocate for and protect children in disaster situations, ensuring they receive the care and support they need.
