Raising Funds for Resilience and Care Tools for Forestry Contractors

In this unprecedented event which has hit 30% of our forestry industry, the contractors and their crews are likely to lose staff, lose their earnings for a time and in some cases lose their livelihoods. We as an advocacy organisation think we are best to support the industry in providing them tools to support the realisation of the magnitude of this event, the emotions and grief that will follow. Your contribution to your fellow contractors, the workforce sector will be used to develop up a series of short, sharp, effective videos with celebrity Pio Terei who knows our industry so well and A-OK a provider of quality, internationally recognised training that equips people to be able to have life-supporting conversations.

1. Acknowledge the events and impacts while highlighting the rise of support

2. Understanding the grief cycle

3. Understanding the distress bell curve and how to manage it

4. How to face this current situation safely

5. Support - how to access it and where to go

6. Relooking at resilience

They are going to be made available mid March and will be then available for the whole of industry to share and use. We know that these events are not about if they occur again but when! If you would like to give a little now is an ideal time - with thanks FICA
