Adaptations for specific cultural populations are needed to respond to children affected by natural disasters. After Hurricane María, we provided disaster response training to mental health professionals and Disaster Response Play Therapy services to children in Puerto Rico. In this article, we describe culturally specific, field-tested preparation and procedures to promote Puerto Rican children's mental health after disasters. We recommend cultural adaptations for training mental health professionals and providing children's disaster response in Puerto Rico.
