Recovery Capitals resources launch: A cross-Tasman collaboration to support wellbeing after disaster

This webinar launches a new set of evidence-based resources for people and organisations engaged in disaster recovery. The resources were produced through the Recovery Capitals (ReCap) project, a collaboration between researchers, organisations and governments across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

The ReCap resources are designed to support strengths-based, holistic and inclusive recovery approaches. They emphasise the interconnectedness between seven ‘recovery capitals’ – natural, social, financial, cultural, political, built and human.

Find out more about how the ReCap resources might be useful in your work.
