Dealing with Shock

Since JOIN first reported the Yarkon Bridge Disaster in Israel on 15th July 1997 Australians have suffered a further tragedy with the landslade and subsequent collapse of ski lodges in Thredbo in the NSW alps. Between those two dates two terrorists had inflicted death and terrible injuries to innocent civilians in Israel. Now yet another tale of horror reached us with the plane crash on Guam.

It takes little time for bad news to travel and for the media to assault our senses with graphic detail. "Shock can affect even those who are just onlookers from afar, and can lead to real symptoms that have to be addressed."
