It’s been four years since the Indian Ocean tsunami killed more than 225,000 people in 11 countries, hitting Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand the hardest. After four years of recovery and rebuilding, is it important to remember the anniversary of the trauma?
In episode 2, Pam Ryan, co-founder and Chair of Psychology Beyond Borders, recalls the organization’s work after the Boxing Day tsunami of 2004. Dr. Ryan also discusses different ways to deal with the anniversaries of traumatic events.
Dr. Ryan is the Co-founder and Chair of the international humanitarian/research organization Psychology Beyond Borders. Pam is also the Managing Director of the global public policy “thinkaction tank” Issues Deliberation Australia, which has worked on projects like bridging the divide between Muslims and non-Muslims, and reconciliation between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. Pam is also the Cofounder and Chair of the Board of the Texas Silverton Foundation, which focuses on empowerment of disadvantaged peoples in the USA, Australia and other parts of the world, including Ethiopia, East Timor, and Vietnam.
