CURRENT ISSUES One Year On Anniversary of 2009 Victorian Bushfires

Friday 5th February 2010. The Australian Child and Adolescent Trauma, Loss and Grief Network wishes to recognise the great courage and many strengths with which children, adolescents, families and their many communities have dealt with the experience of the Victorian Bushfires. We acknowledge and respect the many feelings, the distress and grief, the despair and hope that many have faced. We wish you well through this weekend of reminders and offer support for the ongoing challenges.
