The fire that still burns: the mental health crisis unfolding among Maui's children

The deadly wildfire in Lahaina, Maui had a severe impact on the mental health of children and adolescents.
Suppressing emotions and not discussing traumatic experiences can hinder the ability to navigate PTSD symptoms and triggers.
