My dear friends, here comes the sad news of big earthquake from Haiti
before we get fully recovered from the "5 * 12" earthquake in
Wenchuan, Sichuan and the "8 * 8" hurricane in Taiwan.

America was befallen big earthquake of 7.0 on the Richter magnitude
scale. According to the latest statistics from international
organizations, the estimated number of earthquake victims in Haiti is
more than 220 thousand. In addition, 250 thousand people are injured
and nearly 1.5 million people are homeless. After the earthquake, the
estimated number of children who will become orphans or separate from
their family would be 2 million. According to the preliminary
estimates of International Red Cross organization, there would be as
many as three million refugees in Haiti because of this earthquake.
These people are waiting for psycho and mental health aid.
Dear friends: Haiti earthquake has shortened the distance of the whole
world. Facing such an unprecedented time of crisis of disaster, we are
all survivors! We should join life-saving and rebuild homes soul

While making the emergency aid to people in the affected area after

documents offer necessary technical training of mental health services
for the mental health professionals and social workers in Haiti
disaster area. Besides offering training materials, IACMSP will also
send the first group of psycho and mental health experts & volunteers
to Haiti to provide mental health services to prevent and to treat a
variety of psychological problems and mental disorders, especially
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Then, as what IACMSP have done
under "5 * 12" earthquake in Sichuan and "8 * 8" hurricane in Taiwan,
IACMSP will provide long-term the technical information and related
equipment of psycho and mental health aid, mental health services,
PTSD treatment to Haiti people in affected areas.
