Assessing and Addressing Woolsey Fire R:elated Trauma in Malibu Public Schools: Mitigating the Inequitable Impact of Disaster across our Socio-Economic spectrum - The project - Assessing and Addressing Woolsey Fire Related Trauma in Malibu Public Schools: Mitigating the Inequitable Impact of Disaster across our Socio-Economic Spectrum is about three things: recovering, equity and resilience. The first goal is to assess the prevalence, and intensity of PTSD symptoms in the Malibu public school community by offering training and education to students, teachers/staff, and families. We are specifically concerned with the impact on 30% of the population that includes the low income, inter-district transfers, and English learning subpopulations. We know that natural disasters dis-proportionately impact lower income populations and recovery can be more challenging when access to resources is often determined by socio-economic status. We know the whole school population experienced trauma and those who either lost a home (12%) or those who lost sources of income (30%) are continuing to experience trauma during the extended displacement and recovery. The Boys and Girls Club of Malibu (BGCM) has been supporting the fire relief and recovery efforts by providing financial aid based on economic need, crisis counseling and workforce development programs. What has made our previous relief efforts effective is that we already cater to the most vulnerable groups within our overall population. We will offer services to 4,968 and we estimate that we will serve 2,240 with basic education and training, 500 with increased level of training and group therapy, and at least 185 with one-on-one counseling. We will be employing trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) as our primary Evidence Based Practices (EBP’s) for treatment. Outcomes will be assessed with 2 psychometrically sound measures. The UCLA PTSD Reaction Index will allow us to accurately evaluate the prevalence and intensity of PTSD symptoms and will assist in providing diagnoses. The Youth Outcome Questionnaire (YOQ) will allow us to assess overall mental health. When both measures are combined, with the demographic profiles and BGCM program participation data, it will provide a high fidelity picture of our populations mental health, and what effect fire related trauma is having on particular subpopulations. Seasonal fires appear to be the new norm for our community. How we organize as a community and support our most vulnerable members will determine our resilience and ability to cope with the next disaster.
