This project focused on the delivery of a modified version of the Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships education program with Year 7 and Year 9 students in six Victorian secondary schools over 2022.

This study was conducted to examine the impacts of the Black Saturday and related bushfires of February 2009 on community members’ physical and mental health and wellbeing. The research also aimed to build understanding of the interplay between individual, social and community-level recovery.
