From the tiniest of babies, to tweens and teens, every member of your family will have a different experience of the same emergency or traumatic event. Storms, fires and floods have increased with changes in climate. When families experience trauma from major emergencies like these, each member responds and recovers in their own unique way.
Our expert psychologists are here to help with advice for parents and carers on how to take care of themselves, and their loved ones. This episode explores helpful tips to guide families along their road to resilience.
