What To Do When Disaster Strikes! Mental Health

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.
