Help for those hit hard by disasters There are visible losses to the many Hoosiers affected by Indiana’s recent natural disasters. Not quite as recognizable is the psychological impact and ongoing stress endured by victims and response workers of these disasters. The tornadoes and floods of 2008 took a toll on thousands of Hoosier families. The basic securities most of us take for granted such as food, shelter, and clothing were just some of the immediate needs faced by families. Project Aftermath is a federally funded crisis counseling outreach program that is free to those who need its services and was developed to operate in response to the presidential disaster declarations. Project Aftermath provides crisis counseling and emotional support to those who have experienced a loss or trauma as a result of a disaster. The goal is to return these individuals to a pre-disaster level of functioning. Supervised group sessions allow the individuals to share experiences and validate their emotional, psychological, cognitive and behavioral responses. These services are available to victims and disaster workers. |
