The Berri and Loxton communities are invited to participate in 'The Equip Study ' to strengthen psychological preparedness and community capacity for future extreme weather events.
This community-based mental wellbeing program is designed to help regional Australians prepare for more frequent challenges from events like fires, floods, and droughts.
It is being funded by the Australian Government’s Medical Research Future Fund and instead of focusing on recovery will aim to build preparedness and resilience.
A Berri/Loxton local advisory group to advise the research team is working on this initiative.
Those who may be interested in taking part in this program and who live or work in these areas are encouraged to take part in a survey and the opportunity to attend a workshop on Sunday May 31 from 9am to 5.30pm at the Berri Hotel.
People interested in attending can email [email protected] and complete a baseline workshop survey by Friday April 17.
Please click on the QR Code on this post for more information and a link to the questionnaire.
