RESEARCHERS at Southern Cross University have been awarded more than $3.8 million to help Northern Rivers locals affected by the devastating 2022 floods.
In an unique approach, the researchers will implement a stepped care model to support over 200 people left with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after the disaster.
To date, researchers stated there have been very few clinical trials focused on recovery from disaster-related PTSD, and none have focused on a stepped care model.
Stepped care is an evidence-based system for treating mental health, involving a hierarchy of treatments, from least to most intensive.
People can register their interest in participating in the clinical trial by emailing compassiontrial@scu.edu.au.
