12 Second Response: Helping Children to Recover Post Disaster

William Spear, president of the Fortunate Blessings Foundation responds to the needs of children post disaster, specifically in preventing the development of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in impacted children. He has brought Second Response teams to the South Pacific, Japan, and the NY/NJ area post Hurricane Sandy to work with children weeks after basic needs are met. By providing facilitated safe, joyful and respectful "Playshops" with children, Spear and his team help them recover their original ability to have fun, while minimizing the risk of developing PTSD .
