Hello
My name is Jenny Brown and i'm a PhD student at the university of Canterbury. I'm conducting research into the effects ongoing earthquake insurance claims have on mental wellbeing. I would greatly appreciate it if you could inform people of my study so they can take part if they are interested. Anyone can take part, including those who haven't had ongoing claims. It involves a 25 minute anonymous survey, once completed participants can leave their email and go into the draw to win one of eight $50 westfield vouchers.

The link for the survey is here canterbury.qualtrics.com.... It is an anonymous link that takes participants to the start of the survey. I welcome everyone to take the survey even if they do not have an ongoing insurance claim.

The way you parent has little effect on post-traumatic stress your children may be experiencing, research shows.

University of Canterbury researcher Dr Kathleen Liberty says parenting styles account for about 2 to 5 per cent of the variance in childhood post-traumatic stress disorder.

This knowledge should reassure parents who believe their children's trauma and anxiety arises from the stress the Canterbury earthquakes have placed on many families, and remind schools dealing with quake-affected children not to engage in "parent shaming", Liberty says.
