“…Global peace and partnership guarantee justice and equal distribution of resources, including healthcare. Although each goal can be achieved alone, the interrelated nature of SDGs mandates simultaneous prioritization, assessment, and management of all goals (Filho et al, 2023; McGill et al, 2023).…”

There is evidence globally that the number of sociopathic, narcissistic, and so‐called antisocial personality disorders is far more prevalent than expected. Most individuals with such a disorder cause limited harm to society. However, politicians may, through an exaggerated sense of entitlement, grandiosity, sensitivity to criticism, and the hunger for acclaim, cause conflicts that have historically reached the level of wars, political unrest, or severe social suffering. This is often evident only after attaining a high office and is especially witnessed in international and national politicians. Thus, this review aims to clarify the social, political, and health‐care security implications of sociopathic narcissistic leadership and to recommend potential societal options to avoid the untoward leadership consequences that too often occur.

“…[1][2][3] Exposure to trauma such as bushfires is an adverse childhood experience that can result in grief and loss and mental health issues for children, many of whom may be particularly vulnerable to this type of event. [3][4][5] The findings of a rapid review by Curtin et al 6 indicated that the impact of bushfire exposure for children may not be apparent in the short-term but may become more pronounced later in life. These authors found that bushfires can have devastating long-term impacts on children's emotional well-being and resilience, particularly if children do not receive appropriate support to process their experiences in the days, weeks, and months following a disaster.…”

IntroductionA multidisciplinary Bushfire Recovery Program was developed by Royal Far West focused on reducing the short‐ and medium‐term impacts of the 2019‐2020 bushfires in Australia on children’s wellbeing and resilience.ObjectivesTo evaluate the impact of the Program’s psychosocial groups on children’s wellbeing and resilience.DesignA two‐phase mixed method approach was used, involving post‐intervention surveys and interviews of children impacted by the 2019‐2020 bushfires in Australia who participated in the Bushfire Recovery Program, their parents/carers, teachers, and the facilitators of the workshops. Statistical analysis was undertaken with quantitative data and content and thematic analysis of qualitative data.FindingsChildren learnt to talk to and trust adults, share thoughts and experiences with others, recognise they were not alone in their experiences, build connections with peers, understand and manage feelings, and implement strategies that enabled them to cope with change.DiscussionPsychosocial groups delivered in preschools and schools as part of the Bushfire Recovery Program reportedly led to significant learning and positive impacts for children in the areas of coping, wellbeing, and peer connections. Similar themes occurred across surveys and interviews and findings reflected the perceptions of the children who participated in the groups, and key adults around the children.ConclusionsCommunity‐based psychoeducational interventions can provide effective support in the short‐ and medium‐term post‐bushfire for children to develop strategies and skills to enable them to cope with changes and their emotional reactions.

“…In recent years, numerous countries have been severely impacted by natural disasters, resulting in significant human and animal loss (Botzen et al, 2019). Disaster, defined by UNISDR, is a significant disruption of a community's functioning due to a hazard that interacts with exposure, vulnerability, and capacity, resulting in significant losses and devastating impacts (Navrud & Magnussen, 2013;McGill et al, 2023).…”

The Comprehensive School Safety Framework (CSSF) is a comprehensive strategy for a safe learning environment for teachers, students and school staff. This study assessed the disaster preparedness level of secondary school teachers in the public school district Attock. Three hundred twenty teachers were selected from district Attock public based on their age, gender, qualification, teaching level and teaching experience. A five-point Likert scale survey instrument using the CSS framework was used to analyze the disaster preparedness of secondary school teachers. The data was collected through Google Forms using a survey. Data was standardized on MS Excel for a smooth run on SPPS. The data revealed that the majority of the schools are prepared for disaster. There are safe learning facilities, school disaster management, disaster risk reduction and resilience education. However, no school was found to be highly prepared. At the end of the study, the researcher gives further research recommendations on school safety based on the CSS framework.
