Mental Health First Aid During Natural Disasters with Dr. Fred Riley

It's about what they need, and really they don't need to know the sacrifices you've made to get there.
When hurricanes and other natural disasters strike, the physical damage is evident, but the emotional toll can be just as devastating. In this episode of 'Counseling On Demand', Dr. Fred Riley dives into the mental health challenges faced during such catastrophic events, focusing on Hurricane Florence as a case study. With his trademark blend of compassion and expertise, Dr. Riley explores how trauma affects those in the storm's path and offers practical advice on coping mechanisms.
Even if you're miles away from the disaster zone, Dr. Riley shares ways you can provide meaningful support, from contributing to local cleanup efforts to sending essential supplies like blankets and water. He underscores the importance of community involvement and reminds us that everyone, even those who seem resilient, can be deeply affected by such events.
Tune in to gain valuable insights on how to assist those grappling with the aftermath of natural disasters and learn how small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
