Abstract
Access to quality and affordable mental health care is not always available to disaster-prone countries experiencing climate change, which may result in psychological trauma. Although environmental support has been provided, the consequences of disasters have not been addressed within the mental health realm. Inadequate knowledge and practice about crisis responses for mental health was addressed in Bangladesh with the influx of Rohingya people escaping persecution. To provide mental health support, Crisis Preparedness for Mental Health (CPM-MH) was developed and implemented addressing the psychological consequences of traumatic events. CP M-MH has its foundation in post-trauma stabilization through establishment of psychological equilibrium providing proactive rather than reactive methods linked to positive mental health outcomes. With adoption of CPM-MH in Bangladesh addressing mental health needs after traumatic events, mental health damage experienced by manmade and natural disasters may be considered the best strategy to build coping skills and resiliency for further traumatic event.
