An Experience of Network Intervention

Disaster conditions have a psychosocial impact that alters all the systems to which an individual belongs. Damage to the population affects lives, agricultural and industrial production, housing and services and destabilizes the pre-established conditions of community well being. This alters social networks and social structure in general, generates an over-demand for systems and communities and overwhelms their capacity to respond to individuals in a functional manner.TO address this reality, an experience of Network Intervention was developed between 2012 and 2013 to recuperate or reconfigure the networks affected by natural disasters in Manatí-Colombia. The implementation of this intervention reconfigured support networks, supported quicker psychological adaptation and promoted resilience in the communities affected by the disaster.
