Emotional support
Caring for your wellbeing is part of the response too.
Preventive and complementary support, not medical care. If you're in crisis, seek professional help.
Psychological first aid
Listen, comfort, and connect to help; never pressure to relive the trauma.
Normal reactions to disaster
Fear, insomnia, fatigue and sadness are common; they usually ease with time and support.
Caring for children
Keep routines, answer calmly, and limit exposure to distressing images.
When to seek professional help
If symptoms are intense, persistent, or there's risk to you or others, seek a professional.
