Coping with Natural Disasters
Extreme Weather
The effects of extreme weather can be long-lasting and the resulting trauma can reverberate even with those not directly affected by the disaster. It is common for people who have experienced traumatic situations to have very strong emotional reactions. Understanding normal responses to these abnormal events can aid you in coping effectively with your feelings, thoughts and behaviors, and help you along the path to recovery. NJPA, works closely with the American Red Cross, through our Disaster Response Network, to provide mental health assistance in times of crisis and disaster to those who experience post-traumatic stress, grief, and other psychological distresses encountered during difficult events. Contact NJPA at 973-243-9800 for more information.
