Support for flood affected communities
Flood disasters can have a significant impact on the mental health and wellbeing of affected communities and individuals.
The impact may also be felt by people who are not directly affected by the floods, but may have experienced previous trauma related to a natural disaster, have loved ones in affected areas or are witnessing traumatic events through media coverage and social media.
This page provides a range of practical and emotional resources available for people who wish to seek support due to the impact of flood disasters.
