Part of the Flood Wellbeing and Disaster Program 2025 grants.
The Thompson Institute is providing neuroscientific education and training to disaster management professionals, volunteers, and community members in areas affected by flooding, specifically in Noosa, Gympie and Maryborough. The goal is to enhance community readiness for future floods by offering training sessions both online and in person. The Institute will assess the effectiveness of different training methods. Over 520 people will attend these sessions to learn about trauma care and personal wellbeing strategies to handle disasters. Collaborating with organisations like headspace and local healthcare centres, the Institute aims to test and evaluate different resilience training models by December 2024.
