‘I can feel sad about it and I can worry, but inside I know everything happens for a reason’: personal experiences in the aftermath of the March 15 Christchurch mosque attacks
Consistent with previous literature, post-trauma reactions were pervasive and varied. This appeared to be compounded by secondary stressors in this cohort, such as sociopolitical circumstances, demographic diversity, the COVID-19 pandemic and justice processes. Findings also revealed a strong spiritual thread in the experiences of this minority faith community, shedding light on a complex interaction between recovery and post-traumatic growth.
