During this 40 minute audio 6 women share their different bushfire experiences. Our hope is by sharing our stories they will help other communities who experience a significant event in the future. 

Please grab a cuppa and  listen to the women share their stories, to give some insight to others about the recovery process and trauma.

The Firefoxes worked with sound technician, Brendan Tacey on this project to map the timelines and significant aspects of the recovery journey.  At a monthly dinner with 70+ women , we brainstormed what we saw happening in our community at various times over the past 3 years, when people were feeling certain emotions (sadness, anger, hopelessness, anxiety, joy, relief),  significant milestones, and topics close to their hearts. These included, single parenting in a disasters, mental health, accessing assistance, looking after others, rebuilding communities, relationships, nightmares, working with Government and Agencies and lots more!

Listen to the women give some insight to others about the recovery process and trauma.
