Lina Isho, the leader of the STARTTS Youth Program, discusses the recent violent events in Sydney and how they affect people, particularly refugees who have experienced trauma before. She explains that exposure to violent news or events can trigger past traumas, especially for those who have previously recovered. Ms. Ishu offers advice on how to support individuals dealing with trauma and also advise people to contact STARTTS at (02) 9646 6700 or email: stts-startts@health.nsw.gov.au.
