National Disaster Mental Health and Wellbeing Framework: Our Stories: Beyond the Disaster 2021

"Our Stories: Beyond the Disaster" is a research report published by the National Mental Health Commission of Australia. The report is a collection of community stories that highlight the resilience and strength of individuals and communities in the face of disaster.

The report provides insights into the mental health and wellbeing of people affected by disasters, including the challenges they face and the support they need. 

The report also includes recommendations for organisations supporting disaster-affected people, based on the findings of the research. These recommendations include the need for organisations to provide practical support, appropriate and consistent services, and to ensure that people feel understood. The report highlights the importance of recognising the diversity of experiences and needs of people affected by disasters, and the need for organisations to work collaboratively to provide effective support. Overall, "Our Stories: Beyond the Disaster" provides a valuable resource for organisations and individuals working to support the mental health and wellbeing of people affected by disasters.
