Helping Families After Emergencies
Support for families after emergencies, with guidance for caregivers and resilience-focused activities for children.
After an emergency, it is your care and support that calms your child and lets them see that everything will be okay. To help you in your recovery journey, we have developed this family guide that provides tips and activities to do with your child that will provide comfort and reassurance. We hope these ideas help create a warm, comfortable environment that allows you and your child to look forward to better days ahead.
This can be read online via phone or tablet or printed and shared directly with families.
