Bencana adalah peristiwa atau rangkaian peristiwa yang mengancam dan mengganggu kehidupan dan penghidupan masayarakat yang disebabkan, baik oleh faktor alam dan/atau faktor non alam maupun faktor manusia sehingga mengakibatkan timbulnya korban jiwa manusia, kerusakan lingkungan, kerugian harta benda, dan dampak psikologis (BNPD, 2012; Mahdia & Noviyanto, 2013; Negara, 2007; Paramesti, 2011; Sunarti & Syahrini, 2011; Tondobala, 2011; Yusup, 2009) Bencana tidak hanya menimbulkan luka atau cedera fisik, tetapi juga menimbulkan dampak psikologis atau kejiwaan (Ifdil & Taufik, 2012; Rosalina, n.d.). Hilangnya harta benda dan nyawa dari orang-orang yang dicintainya, membuat sebagian korban bencana mengalami stress atau gangguan kejiwaan. Hal tersebut akan sangat berbahaya terutama bagi anak-anak yang dapat terganggu perkembangan jiwanya (Setiawan, 2012). Mengingat dampak yang luar biasa tersebut, maka penanggulangan bencana alam harus dilakukan dengan menggunakan prinsip dan cara yang tepat (Setiawan, 2012). Raphael B. Menyatakan “When death occurs following the impact of the disaster, families need preventive mental health services, as they constitute a population at risk”(Cohen, 2002) Adapun dampak yang diakibatkan oleh adanya bencana maka diperlukan konseling dalam menangani korban pasca bencana. Sebagaimana dijelaskan oleh Lilienfield everyone needs counselling‟ after tragic events(Voughanbell, 2011). After almost any large scale disaster, you‟ll hear reports that rescue workers, supplies and counsellors are being sent to the area as if mental health professionals were as vital as food and shelter (Voughanbell, 2011).
