Chapter 35 – Coping with Disaster

 

Sometimes having someone to talk to is the best option for moving past a trauma. There are plenty of people out there who will provide you the support you need after living through a disaster. Know that there are many options out there for help, and that you can cope with any emotions you’re feeling by finding a strong support system.

 

If you’ve noticed that a loved one or friend has been acting differently after facing a traumatizing experience suggest that they get proper counseling. This goes for kids and adults alike. Both can have difficulty maintaining a normal routine after a stressful experience, and you can influence them to get the help they need.
