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 Recovery and Resilience Group 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.
The FRRG functions and membership are currently under review with the establishment of new Terms of References to reflect the extended function to include resilience. The new functions and membership will be updated accordingly in the Queensland Recovery Plan through its upcoming review.
