Supporting Children and Families in General Practice After a Natural Disaster or Community Trauma - 16/01/2023 - 31/12/2025

Supporting Children and Families in General Practice After a Natural Disaster or Community Trauma, is for GPs working with families and children affected by natural disasters such as fire, floods or storms, or by community trauma events.

It is based on the understanding that natural disasters and community trauma can have a profound impact on children’s social and emotional wellbeing, and that GPs are well placed to work with children, parents and families to protect children from the impact of these events.

As you progress through this course, you will be offered practical guides and tips for supporting children and families in the immediate aftermath, the short-term and long-term following a natural disaster or community trauma.
