Recovery efforts in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) following the recent earthquake are facing a significant challenge: the widespread psychological trauma experienced by residents. While rebuilding homes and infrastructure is crucial, authorities recognize that addressing mental health is equally important for complete recovery. The earthquake has left deep emotional scars, requiring focused psychological support for affected communities. Experts emphasize that simply reconstructing physical structures won't lead to sustainable well-being without healing the trauma. This necessitates the implementation of psychosocial programs alongside reconstruction initiatives. The long-term success of recovery hinges on acknowledging and treating the invisible wounds caused by the disaster. Prioritizing mental health is now seen as integral to NTT’s rebuilding process.
