Giving Back to Community
Siobhan offers her psychological services to The Disaster Response Network (DRN) providing support at no charge, to eligible organisations.
The Disaster Response Network (DRN) is a national volunteer network of APS psychologists with specialist training in supporting first responders affected by trauma and critical incident stress.
Working with Primary Health Networks, NGOs and other emergency service providers they proactively check the mental health of frontline staff who are repeatedly exposed to stressful and traumatic events in the course of their work.
Those exposed to crisis situations often need support from specifically trained psychologists. The DRN enhances existing systems, to ensure these individuals stay emotionally healthy, resilient and avoid burnout (APS, 2024).
