About this audiobook

Ground Zero: The Psychological Toll of the Marawi Conflict provides a deeply moving exploration of the mental and emotional impacts left behind by the five-month siege that devastated Marawi City in 2017. Through in-depth narratives, expert analysis, and powerful firsthand accounts, author William Ubagan brings to light the untold stories of resilience, trauma, and recovery experienced by survivors, responders, and affected communities. This book delves into the lingering scars of war, from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and grief to the struggle of rebuilding lives amidst the ruins. Combining meticulous research with compassion, Ubagan examines how individuals and families have coped with the invisible wounds of conflict and highlights the critical need for psychological support in post-crisis recovery efforts. Whether you are a scholar, mental health professional, policymaker, or simply someone seeking to understand the human cost of conflict, Ground Zero offers invaluable insights into the long-term consequences of war and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
