Human and Social Functional Recovery and Resilience Group

About the Human and Social FRRG

Human and social recovery relates to the emotional, social, physical and psychological health and well-being of individuals, families and communities following a disaster. The Human and Social Functional Recovery and Resilience Group (FRRG) aims to address:

• access to timely information
• assistance to reconnect with families, friends and community networks
• enabling people to manage their own recovery through access to information and a range of services and/or practical assistance, including financial assistance for those individuals and households who are most vulnerable and do not have the means to finance their own recovery.
• access to emotional, psychological and mental health support at individual, family and community levels (psychosocial support), and
• assistance to maintain a sense of equilibrium in life and move forward into a changed reality.
