Although less is known regarding those who are not directly affected, the limited research indicates that individuals outside the disaster zone may experience trauma symptoms similar to those reported by individuals who experienced the traumatic event (Everly, Boyle, & Lating, 1999), which may be defined as vicarious trauma (VT). Our article highlights (a) the VT symptoms resulting from one such natural disaster, the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and (b) the coping strategies used to manage such trauma by Haitians/Haitian Americans.
