Register to attend this webinar to hear our interdisciplinary panel of experts explore ways to support infants and children following a disaster, by ensuring disruptions to the child’s ecology (their family, school and broader community) are considered in recovery interventions.
Learning outcomes:
- Outline the benefits of considering and connecting with a child’s family, school/early learning service and community as part of disaster recovery approaches.
- Identify how disasters can impact the various aspects of a child’s ecology, and how this may increase the child’s risk of experiencing mental health difficulties in the immediate aftermath or longer term.
- Describe strategies that support children’s relationships, regulation, communication, meaning-making, self-expression, routines and support networks in different environments and contexts following a disaster.
- Discuss ways to involve children and the important adults in their life – their parents, extended family and kin, educators and community leaders – in recovery interventions.
Our interdisciplinary panel:
- Christopher Gostelow, Psychologist, WA
- Tayla lellamo, Occupational Therapist, NSW
- Sarnia Ralston, Child and Family Partner, Qld
- Facilitator: Jacquie Lee, Practice Development Officer, Emerging Minds, SA
