"After mass violence such as the Bondi beach terrorist attack on Sunday,
distress does not stop with those directly affected.

Fear, anger and uncertainty spread through media and social networks. This can
intensify harm for survivors and targeted communities.

People closest to an event are often supported by services and community. But
the wider public also shapes what happens next.

Here are three ways you can help reduce secondary harm."
