Such events pose major risks to human health and psychological well-being, and this is especially true for youth, who have been identified as a vulnerable population in disasters. Similarly, recent data reveal that the COVID-19 pandemic may disproportionately affect youths\u2019 functioning. This presentation reviews the psychological and physical health impacts of disasters (including the COVID-19 pandemic) on youth. Then, using a model of \u201crisk and resilience,\u201d several factors (e.g., prior trauma exposure, co-occurring symptoms of distress) that put youth at heightened risk for poor mental health outcomes and factors that help to mitigate disasters\u2019 impact (e.g., social support, coping skills) are reviewed. Finally, based on the risk-and-resilience findings, implications for developing and implementing post-disaster interventions with youth are discussed.
