Recovery Matters webinars get to the heart of key issues that are important in disaster recovery.

Join us for the first webinar in a series further exploring the 10 Years Beyond Bushfires Report.

AIDR is pleased to partner with the Australian Red Cross and University of Melbourne to further explore the Beyond Bushfires: Community, Resilience, and Recovery study.

 

Post-traumatic growth

Post-traumatic growth (PTG) is an important dimension of many people’s disaster recovery experiences. Drawing on lived experience and research into PTG following the Victorian 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, hear about strategies for supporting PTG in disaster recovery contexts.
