How to ask someone: Are you OK?
As we continue to recover together, let’s make sure we take the time to ask our family, friends, work colleagues and neighbours if they are OK?
The Hawkesbury has recently been through several extreme weather incidents, that have impacted many of us in differing ways.
It's completely normal to experience a range of emotions after a fire, including anxiety, forgetfulness, sleep disturbance and more.
Having someone to listen to and support you through this is very important.
Check in on your friends and neighbours, and if you or someone you know needs help, reach out.
