Helping children who have been affected by floods
Hundreds and sometimes thousands of people every year are affected by
floods around Australia. A large number of these are children who may have
suffered major disruption, losses, or lived through frightening experiences.
Many other children have been affected indirectly, through hearing about
the floods or knowing someone who has lost their home. These can all be
challenging experiences for children. This information sheet will outline some
strategies you can use to help children recover from a flood.
