ENDORSEMENTS
Crises and catastrophes are on the rise, becoming more the rule than the exception. Thus, a volume devoted to issues of resistance, resilience, and recovery could not be timelier or more important. Hechanovas and Waeldes insightful work should be required reading for leaders, scholars, and community members globally looking for culturally sound and effective evidence-based intervention frameworks.

Thoughtful and sensitive. The book does not only offer keen ideas about mental health and psychosocial support in times of disaster, it also gives us a deeper appreciation of the concepts of resistance, resilience, and recovery from disasters that is specific to the context that is Southeast Asia. In the midst of the global pandemic we are currently facing, this book gives us valuable insights as to how we can ensue collective resilience among our people in Southeast Asia and move forward in a way that is fit to the context of our new normal. What I appreciate most about the book is that its giving a space for one of those groups that is often neglected in times of disaster the disaster responders.

Disasters have profoundly affected the evolution of human cultures through known history, and no region has felt these effects more than Southeast Asia (SEA). This volume provides a concise and unique resource for understanding how stress-resistance in the face of disaster, resilience to its most acute effects, and longer-term adaptive recovery are entwined with the cultural ecologies of those affected. These are perhaps the most fundamentally important distinctions for understanding how we can accurately anticipate and respond effectively to the mental health and psychosocial support needs of communities and organizations across SEA impacted by such catastrophic events. I recommend this book as a practical and scholarly resource for informing culturally sensitive studies and humanitarian interventions in general, and especially in SEA context.
