How do nuclear accidents impact the mental health and psychosocial well-being of individuals, families, and communities affected by radiation exposure, evacuation, displacement, and loss of homes, livelihoods, and social support networks?

Nuclear accidents can lead to psychological distress, trauma, grief, and social isolation among survivors, evacuees, and displaced populations, necessitating psychosocial support services, trauma-informed care, community resilience-building initiatives, and cultural healing practices to address mental health needs and promote recovery.
