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.
