Developing Psychological Resilience to the Impact of Drought

Aims to develop a strategic plan for growing community psychological resilience by creating pathways for transformative learning.
Community leadership groups are best placed to enable specific communities to establish a sense of control (agency), an understanding of individual place in drought response (coherence) and an experience of collaboration (connectedness). However before assisting leadership structures to undertake these tasks, leaders as identified by community need to be identified and their perceptions control, coherence and connectedness need to be understood. The activity is to identify leaders through Delphi techniques and determine perceptions of control, coherence and connectedness.
