Mental health support
It is common to experience a range of intense emotions following a traumatic event like a natural disaster. Some people may have experienced the event physically. Others may be affected in other ways whether it be concern about family and friends, hearing about people’s experiences during flooding, or extra workloads caused by the adverse event.
