Business owners to receive psychological support
Volunteers are set to visit Wellington business owners to offer support around the emotional impacts of bushfire, drought and Covid-19.
Members of the Victorian Council of Churches Emergencies Ministry will offer face-to-face support visits from Monday 1 February until Wednesday 3 February in Dargo, Heyfield, Maffra, Rosedale, Stratford and Yarram.
Since 1977, the VCCEM has been engaged by the state government to provide support to disaster-affected people, providing counselling and support services. VCCEM work includes caring for those affected by the Ash Wednesday bushfire, Gippsland Floods, Black Saturday bushfires and the Bourke Street Massacre.
The organisation also played a role at the Sale relief centre during the 2020 East Gippsland Fires.
