    Ep 12 | Communities with Trauma

    A massive event affects each of us in different of ways, but we do know that people who have experienced previous trauma are more likely to be affected because a disaster can trigger memories.

For example, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities who are already navigating intergenerational trauma will carry that experience through a disaster event. Or former refugee communities are already contending with a difficult past will have unique challenges in this new environment. If you're in those communities, or supporting people in those communities, what can you do to make it easier? One key is respecting and honouring the resilience they have already displayed.
