UNDERSTANDING BUSHFIRE RECOVERY AND ENGAGING WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS
On Thursday, 2 December, 2021, at 1pm, Clinical Psychologist David Younger will facilitate a forum on bushfire recovery. The 2019/20 Black Summer bushfires were a significant natural disaster and the personal recovery for community members is far from over.
