When disaster strikes, it can be shocking and destabilizing. You may feel out of control and unsure of how to rebuild. There are supportive organizations and resources available that can support you in feeling safe again.
If you need immediate support, call or text the Disaster Distress Helpline at 1-800-985-5990.
Natural disastersSurvivors of a natural disaster may experience mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The emotional toll of losing homes, communities, and stability can exacerbate mental health issues, making timely psychological support and recovery efforts essential.
Coping with a disaster or traumatic event (and when to seek help)
War and terrorismWar and acts of terrorism expose individuals to extreme trauma, violence, and loss. The long-lasting psychological effects of living through conflict can disrupt daily functioning and require comprehensive mental health support for recovery and healing.
Resources for meeting immediate needsAfter a disaster, it is critical to stabilize affected individuals, address urgent health and safety concerns, and lay the foundation for long-term recovery. Use these resources to meet immediate needs and receive emotional support during this difficult time.
Take a Mental Health TestIf you or a friend are struggling with your mental health, take an anonymous, free, and private mental health test. It only takes a few minutes, and after you are finished you will be given information about the next steps you can take based on the results.
