DE CASSIA NAKANO, Tatiana. Crises, natural disasters, and pandemics: insights from Positive Psychology. Cienc. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.2, e2161.  Epub 29-Set-2020. ISSN 1688-4094.  https://doi.org/10.22235/cp.v14i2.2161.

In the wake of crises, pandemics, and natural disasters, several devastating consequences concerning the population’s mental health can be observed. For this reason, it is important to understand how psychology can help individuals and communities that experience a traumatic event. This paper will focus on insights from positive psychology in this context, given the topicality of the topic in the face of the global pandemic caused by COVID-19. The paper was organized to point out positive psychology applications, considering three phases: disaster preparedness, crisis response, and recovery phase. The literature review demonstrated that positive psychology could enable individuals to grow, even after experiencing a traumatic event, helping them reformulate their negative experiences, reflect on their priorities, and reassess their values.
