Literature Review: Konseling Traumatik untuk Menangani Kesehatan Mental pada Korban Pasca Bencana Alam

Abstract

Indonesia is a country that is very prone to natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and floods, which have a significant impact on people's lives, including the mental health of the victims. This research aims to explore psychological and traumatic counseling services available for victims of natural disasters, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions in supporting victims' recovery. Using literature methods, this research analyzes various sources related to the psychological impact of disasters and the counseling techniques applied. The research results show that psychosocial services, individual and group counseling, and crisis intervention are effective approaches in reducing trauma. Cognitive-based, humanistic approaches, bibliotherapy, and relaxation techniques have proven effective in helping victims overcome PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Important factors in the success of a victim's recovery include social support, family involvement, and the quality of the relationship between counselor and client. This research emphasizes the importance of collaboration between government, non- governmental organizations, and mental health professionals in providing optimal counseling services for victims of natural disasters
