  • Title: Mental health services for children in the first two years after the 1995 Oklahoma City terrorist bombing.
    Author: Pfefferbaum B, Call JA, Sconzo GM.
    Journal: Psychiatr Serv; 1999 Jul; 50(7):956-8. PubMed ID: 10402620.
    Abstract:
    Nineteen infants and children were killed in the 1995 terrorist bombing in Oklahoma City, and many were injured. More than 200 children lost one or both parents. These casualties focused attention on children in the disaster response efforts. This paper describes the development and implementation of a school-based mental health program that provided accessible services to children affected by the bombing, with an emphasis on normalization. A clinical needs assessment of all children in the Oklahoma City public school system was carried out, and clinicians provided emergency and crisis services, counseling, and support groups.
