Abstract
Evaluation of psychosocial support services rendered to victims of natural disasters at Dannhauser Municipality by Social Workers.
THEME 1: Promoting stakeholder partnerships that protect, support and enhance resilience during adverse events and trauma
SUB 1.1The role of psychosocial services during adverse events and resultant trauma from a Human rights perspective
Oral Presentation
The province of KwaZulu Natal experienced extreme weather conditions in April 2022. A significant number of people in Dannhauser became survivors of natural disasters in April 2022. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the psychosocial support services rendered to victims of natural disasters by social workers. Descriptive qualitative analysis was used to review fifty social work reports on psychosocial support services rendered to survivors of natural disasters.
Findings showed there is no; indication of response time to victims of trauma, clear description of psychological trauma experienced by victims, and intervention services focused on material loss. There is no indication of how many survivors were removed from their homes. The developed plan of action does not indicate holistic intervention service. Recommendations; holistic psychosocial support services must be provided to victims of trauma.
