Lifeline Mid Coast believes that the severity of trauma can be significantly reduced when appropriate support is provided in the immediate aftermath of a disaster provided that support continues for 12 months or more.
In response to the Mid North Coast fires, Lifeline Mid Coast in partnership with Lifeline Australia has established a Lifeline Community Leadership Program.
This program identifies community leaders and their teams that may benefit from the provision of Psychological First Aid training with follow up support.
The Coordinator of the program is Steve Prohm and he can be contacted directly on [email protected] or phone 6581 2800.
