Résumé
Plusieurs chercheur.euse.s s’intéressent à la question des conséquences des désastres sur les enfants et les adolescent.e.s. La majorité des études effectuées sont quantitatives et se concentrent sur les symptômes anxieux, dépressifs et post-traumatiques que développent ces jeunes. Peu d’études qualitatives se préoccupent des effets plus systémiques que provoquent ces catastrophes, tels que les conséquences d’une relocalisation dans un nouveau quartier ou les difficultés familiales et la violence envers les enfants qui peuvent s’ensuivre. De plus, peu d’études proposent des pistes d’intervention en travail social. L’objectif principal de cet article vise donc à fournir une recension des écrits récente, francophone et systémique au sujet des conséquences vécues par les jeunes d’âge mineur à la suite d’un désastre. Cela afin de soutenir les intervenant.e.s en travail social en regroupant dans un même article quelques pistes d’intervention individuelle, familiale, de groupe et collective.

Abstract
Many researchers have focused on the influence of disasters exposure on children and teenagers. Most of the research performed are quantitative studies that center predominantly on posttraumatic stress, depression, and anxiety symptoms developed by youth. Few qualitative research take an interest in a more holistic picture of the impacts of disasters, such as the relocation in new communities or challenged interpersonal family dynamics, which can lead to violence against children. Moreover, few articles discuss implications for social work. The main objective of this article is to offer a recent and francophone literature review with an ecological approach about the impacts of disasters exposure on children and teenagers. Furthermore, to better equip social workers, promising avenues of individual, family focused, group and community-based interventions are discussed.
