CLINICAL psychologist and natural disaster recovery and preparedness consultant David Younger will discuss common recovery challenges at a free community dinner in Bridgewater on Friday night.
“The 2022 October storm and flood event saw people across our shire affected by this widespread flooding,” said Loddon Shire’s well-being director Wendy Gladman.
“As we continue to see recovery efforts take place, the impacts of the flood event on our communities are still being felt across the region – including fatigue and mental health impacts.
“Through blending storytelling, scientific findings and real life experiences, David will talk about common recovery challenges, along with providing tips and pointers that can help people and their community recover better.”
Mrs Gladman said David had an unwavering commitment to “serving communities and making a difference in the lives of those affected by natural disasters”.
“We encourage our community to come along to this event, as our shire continues its flood recovery journey,” she said.
