This paper and accompanying workshop address the changing and expanding role of school psychologists resulting from disasters and increasing violence in schools and communities. The objectives of this workshop were: to encourage school psychologists to expand their roles to include crisis intervention as an essential part of their service deliveries; to help school psychologists develop more expertise in helping children, adolescents, and families cope during, and in the aftermath of, a disaster; to share information about disasters in general and the experiences of a Red Cross mental health disaster volunteer; and to provide participants with an opportunity to introspect about their feelings in dealing with several types of disasters. The paper includes step-by-step guidelines and suggestions for school counselors on topics including, "The Four Phases of Disaster,""Disaster Mental Health (DMH),""Principles To Follow for Providing Services to Children and Families,""Attachment and Separation Theory,""Ways Parents Can Support Their Children during/after a Disaster,""Three Ways To Help Children Cope with Disaster,""School Psychologists as Consultants to Educators," and "Group Crisis Intervention."
