Training Program for practitioners on
Bushfire Recovery Skills Development
Skills for Psychological Recovery - harnessing your skills for work in the bushfire aftermath
The Skills for Psychological Recovery (SPR) training program has been developed by a team of experts and reflects Australia’s international reputation in developing best-practice disaster recovery initiatives. The SPR training program delivers an evidence-informed model for disaster recovery. The training has been endorsed by Federal and State Government, as well as all the health professional groups working in bushfire recovery in Victoria.
SPR is a method designed to reduce ongoing distress caused by traumatic events and to accelerate recovery, by assisting people to manage the common reactions following disaster. This professional development initiative represents an excellent opportunity for local practitioners to harness their skills to play a key role in integrated disaster recovery.
This training program is designed for mental health and health workers who provide counselling support and interventions to people affected by the bushfires.
