CHCH Earthquake children victims to get war zone trauma support...
Children traumatised after the Christchurch earthquake will receive the same support as those in war-torn Afghanistan and earthquake ravaged Haiti.
As aftershocks continue to rock Canterbury - over 10,000, Save the Children has mobilised an expert in treating child trauma who is drafting an emergency response report.
Save the Children CEO Liz Gibbs said her organisation was looking at setting up trauma counselling for children and training parents and teachers in how to deal with children who are suffering after the earthquake.
