Although it's been more than two weeks since the Christchurch earthquake, we know Cantabrians are still suffering the effects of this event. It has been great to see our country rally around these people and ask "what can we do to help?"
As psychologists, our profession has also considered the practical ways in which we can offer some assistance. Take a look at the New Zealand Psychologists Society's website for some strategies for coping with and recovering from this traumatic event. Parents might find the tips for helping children particularly useful. And if you didn't experience the earthquake but know people who did, you might like to read the tips for supporting friends and family who were affected. There is also a handy "psychologist locator" for finding professional support in the Canterbury region. Please feel free to share this information with anyone you think might benefit from it!
Our thoughts are with you Canterbury!
