Project Rebound can help
Recent storms have triggered strong emotions in many who experienced the April
tornadoes. Storm survivors often experience sleep problems, depression,
intrusive thoughts, poor memory, feelings of guilt and many other strong
emotions. Planning where you will go during a tornado warning and putting
together a disaster kit with items you might need during a disaster can help
reduce anxiety and provide a sense of control. If you feel frightened, anxious,
stressed or have feelings of panic during stormy weather, Project Rebound
crises counselors are available to come to your home or business and talk with
you. Project Rebound can also connect you with resources for coping with storm
related problems. Call Project Rebound locally at 302-2299. The statewide
number is 1-800-639-REBOUND.
