    What To Do When Disaster Strikes! Mental Health

    Any kind of disaster can be very stressful and everybody will react differently. Coping with a disaster can be difficult, but some ways to make it easier are to:

    • Let your feelings out. Express yourself in a positive way by talking to someone you trust, drawing, painting or writing.
    • Avoid taking your feelings out on others
    • Encourage children to express their feelings, but don't pressure them if they do not feel ready.
    • Return to normal routines as soon as you feel able.
    • Try to sleep well and eat a healthy, balance diet. Avoid alcohol, caffeine and other drugs.
    • Spend time with close family and friends.
    • Do something nice for somebody else.
    • Help children to feel in control. Let them make decisions about meals, what to wear, etc.
    • If you continue to have strong feelings for a long time, think about seeing someone professionally.
