Part 2: Implications of a Global Environmental Disaster

In addition to the environmental impacts of a natural disaster, the toll on the mental health of the affected population is enormous. The earthquake that occurred in Japan on March 11, 2011, resulted in mass casualties and structural damage beyond our imagination. In such events, the mental healthcare response is crucial for meeting the needs of the people affected.

Review the following journal article:

  • Takeda, M. (2011). Mental health care and East Japan Great Earthquake. Psychiatry & Clinical Neurosciences, 65(3), 207–212. doi: 10.1111/j.1440-1819.2011.02220.x (Web of Science Accession Number: WOS:000289740400001)

Using the readings for this week, as well as the above journal article, respond to the following:

  • Which mental health agencies responded immediately to the Japanese earthquake?
  • What were the barriers that prevented an immediate and effective response?
  • Which long-term needs of the people have been affected by the earthquake?
  • What resources are in place to address their mental health needs?

Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.

Each week you will be expected to provide the following information to your community practice instructor through your journal entries:

1. What are your upcoming week’s specific learning goals and objectives?

2. What is your upcoming week’s detailed schedule at your community practice experience placement?

3. Were there any placement items/issues that occurred this week that you feel your instructor should be aware of that are private in nature and are more appropriately shared here than in the discussion board with your classmates?

4. Give a brief description of an objective you worked on this week. Make sure to cite at least one reference showing how your objective relates to the public health knowledge you’ve studied during this course or the public health course. You may choose to reference your e-text, journal articles, or videos you’ve studied during these courses or you may find an outside reference on your own to further enhance your public health knowledge and practices.

Remember, your journal entries are an important aspect of clinical learning as they serve to help you reflect upon and get the most out of your community practice experience. Therefore, your journal entry should include the who, what, where, and when of your community practice experience. Remember, this should simulate a dialogue that would normally take place face-to-face with your community practice experience instructor.
