The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Division of Behavioral Health, in collaboration with Regional Behavioral Health Authorities and providers, is offering mental health resources through the Nebraska Strong Recovery Project to help Nebraskans affected by severe weather in April 2024. The project provides free, confidential, and virtual or in-person mental health support and counseling to individuals experiencing emotional distress due to the recent severe weather events. Services are tailored to each individual’s needs and can be accessed through various communication channels like chat, phone, text, and social media. Dr. Thomas Janousek, Director of the Division of Behavioral Health, emphasizes the importance of seeking help for emotional distress after a natural disaster. Nebraskans can access support through various options and hotlines provided by the Nebraska Strong Recovery Project, funded by FEMA and SAMHSA. For more information and resources, visit their website or reach out to designated hotlines for assistance. It is normal to seek help and support during challenging times – you are not alone.
