The Impact of Natural Disaster-Related ACES on Children’s Mental Health
Access Resources
About
This video describes how natural disasters, like bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic, can be adverse childhood experiences (ACES) that harm children's mental health. Even if not directly affected, children may suffer from stress due to changes in their support systems. Symptoms include anxiety and trouble concentrating, which can affect learning. Early intervention is crucial but often inaccessible due to cost or location barriers. Programs like Kids Express aim to provide mental health support in schools for better accessibility and care for vulnerable children.
