Caring for yourself and loved ones in the wake of Natural Disasters

May 30, 2025 Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle

Over the past several years, our communities have been deeply affected by a relentless series of natural disasters – bushfires, floods, and severe weather events. For many living in places like Taree and across the broader Hunter and Mid-Coast regions, these events have not been isolated. Instead, they have arrived in waves, one after another – often before the last recovery efforts were fully complete. If you’re finding yourself feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or even numb – know that this is a completely natural response.
