We have several publications about crises and what to do when critical events occur on campus. These contain essential information and contacts and the most comprehensive guide is: Two heads are better than one: UNSW campus care - early intervention for those at risk When you are faced with an event that you feel threatens your personal safety, you might feel the impact physically, emotionally or cognitively, or in all of these ways. You may feel tearful, vulnerable or confused about what to think about basic issues of safety and trust. You may feel exhausted physically and/or emotionally and you may find it difficult to concentrate or think clearly.To help you make sense of your own experience we have put together a list of reactions that are common and should be considered normal responses to events that are perceived as a threat to wellbeing and safety, and some suggestions for how to cope with these: Coping With Traumatic or Difficult Life Events. This handout also provides some useful contact numbers if you would like to speak with someone about any of these issues. |
