World Mental Health Day| Recovering emotionally after Hurricane Helene

CSRA (WJBF) – Today, October 10th, is World Mental Health Day. It reminds us that mental health is just as important as physical health.

Experiencing a natural disaster, like Hurricane Helene, can evoke a range of emotional responses, and it is normal to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or distressed during this time.

The American Red Cross is offering support to help you and your loved ones cope and recover.

Their services are available to everyone, including children, senior citizens, and individuals with disabilities.

They understand that each person may react differently, and they are committed to providing the necessary resources to help manage emotional and mental well-being.

For immediate support, please call or text the free Disaster Distress Helpline at 800-985-5990 for 24/7 counseling or support.
