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.
