If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or thoughts of self-harm, call 9-8-8 to speak to a trained counselor.
The words “disaster” and “emergency” refer to natural catastrophes, accidents or human-caused events that result in severe property or infrastructure damage, deaths and/or injuries.
Any disaster or emergency can impact your mental health and sense of well-being.
Just as we take steps before, during and after disasters to maintain our safety and physical health, we can take steps to support our mental health as well.
