After a natural disaster it’s normal to feel the impacts of stress like difficulty sleeping, intrusive images, dread, anxiety, future fears, and connections to past traumas. 5 in-person and online sessions are being offered to help reduce distress, increase resilience, stability and coping. Each participant will attend to their personal needs using a bi-lateral processing technique – without any talking. This method is research proven to be helpful for anyone affected by loss, damage and survival, including first responders, road crews, human service and health providers. Affected parents are encouraged to attend to better support their kids.
