discusses violence, social trauma and mental healthAbstract
The article discusses violence, social trauma and mental health in children and adolescents, focusing on terrorism in Cabo Delgado, northern Mozambique, and its main objective is to analyze the consequences according to the effects of terrorism, with a view to preventing and mental health promotion. The approach is qualitative, based on the literature review of the subject under study. Research sources are Google Scholar; Libgen; Mendeley Reference Maneger and Scielo. The scenarios of violence, aggression, death, mourning and destruction, experienced by children and adolescents, resulting from terrorism, can trigger psychopathological problems of various orders, such as trauma, depression, anguish, panic disorders and this, can influence the behavior of this specific group for life. An important note is that it is necessary to note that ongoing severe trauma can lead to significant impairment in emotion and behavior regulation and can have an impact on how survivors perceive themselves and their worldview (Carll, 2007). Another relevant fact is that this means that the vision and perception of post-traumatic disorder needs to be redefined according to the culture and context. It can be concluded that psychological first aid is needed in order to reduce the psychopathological effects of children and adolescents. Furthermore, there needs to be interventions that need to take into account culture and context, because what can be considered pathological can vary widely across cultures.
