This workshop has been designed to help deliver professional development training activities to Health and Social Service Practitioners (HSSPs) that will develop their knowledge and skills in:
- Preparing families with children both practically and psychologically for a potential natural disaster
- Guiding families with children in supporting and protecting children during a natural disaster event; and
- Supporting families and identifying emotional and behavioural difficulties in children following a natural disaster event.
The core outcome of the training is for HSSPs to be equipped with the knowledge and skills required to promote resilience and coping and decrease long-term adverse reactions in children (aged 0-12 years) following a natural disaster event.
