Resources for Tornado victims - USA from my Association AAMFT

Support and Resources for Those Impacted by Tornadoes Our thoughts continue to be with those families impacted by the recent severe weather that devastated several states, leaving a trail of destruction and loss of life in Kentucky, Arkansas, and the surrounding region. The systemic impact when tragedies occur has wide effects in families and communities. Many of our members and their clients will be struggling not only with meeting basic needs, but with processing these events or talking it through with their children. The resources below have been created by member MFTs or compiled by AAMFT to help support this process. Resources Disastershock: How to cope with the emotional stress of a major disaster Helping Families Cope with Disaster Attending to the Whole System: Eco-Informed Family Therapy An Overview of the Red Cross and Disaster Mental Health If you or your clients would like to help those in need, this website has an extensive list of local organizations in the impacted areas where you can get information on volunteering and donations including supplies, relief funds, toys, support animals, community help lines, and more.
