Responding to Critical Incidents

It can be difficult for clubs to know how to respond in abnormal circumstances, especially in circumstances which have been particularly traumatic. The GAA’s Normal Responses to Abnormal Incidences leaflet is an excellent reference point for clubs.

Also, when going through difficult times, even if not directly affected personally, it is very important that we look after ourselves. These Self Care Tips are very helpful.
