"There was a lot to learn about trauma-informed interviewing, but at the core of it, you’re showing up as a person first—empathy forward," recent graduate Sydney Lobe says about her experience as Climate Disaster Project student at @uvic.ca. www.uvic.ca/support-uvic...

“The wildfire made people scared for the rest of the summer. It put a damper on the summer for people wanting to do things in the neighbourhood. It would have been nice to have a neighbourhood support group so people could talk about it more and explain their side of things.”
