This Emerging Minds Families podcast episode is the fourth in a series of conversations with families who have experienced disasters.
In this episode, podcast host Nadia Rossi talks with Willow, who was 20 years old when her family experienced severe storms in the Dandenong Ranges in 2021. Willow shares her perspective as a young person experiencing this major event, her ongoing recovery process, and the effects of the disaster on her and her family.
Willow also offers advice on how adults can help support the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people who experience disasters.
