BIRDIE'S TREE - Early Learning Program

Disasters, such as floods, can be a scary and challenging experience for young children. Birdie’s Tree was developed by the Queensland Centre for Perinatal and Infant Mental Health (QCPIMH) to help parents, caregivers and early childhood educators support babies and young children through challenging times. https://www.childrens.health.qld.gov.au/natural-disaster-recovery/
