Managing Traumatic Stress After Severe Weather

Following are links to resources for individuals and parents who may have experienced traumatic stress as a result of severe weather. You do not have to have been directly impacted to experience traumatic stress - dangerous weather affecting loved ones, neighbors and your community may cause stress. Similarly, volunteers who participate in recovery efforts may be affected by the scale of damage caused by severe weather.

It is normal to be fearful when severe weather threatens, and anxious in the aftermath when severe weather strikes. However, if your anxiety is interrupting sleep, interfering with your ability to work, or causing difficulties in personal relationships, it may be beneficial to seek professional help.

Below are links to weather-specific mental health resources. For local providers of counseling and other treatment services, go to the Find Help section of this site or call the Tri-County 24/7 Crisis Hotline at 800-351-7347 or text 4Hope to 741741.
