Community trauma toolkit

The Community Trauma Toolkit is an award-winning suite of resources designed to help support adults and children before, during, and after a disaster or traumatic event.

The toolkit is based on the understanding that natural disasters and other traumatic events can significantly impact infants and children. It will help you to understand some of the impacts of disasters and how to help reduce them. It also recognises the central role children can play in preparedness and recovery. Children and infants depend on the adults around them for safety and security. During a disaster they will need reassurance, care, and opportunities to share their feelings. These resources provide a starting point for adults to help children and families navigate the different stages of a disaster.
