In the aftermath of a climate disaster and all the trauma, loss, grief, and anxiety they bring, it’s more important and more difficult than ever for survivors to care for their well-being. Even when things are safe again, survivors may still feel trapped in fight-or-flight mode.
Most disaster recovery programs focus on rebuilding physically. We help communities rebuild mentally and emotionally after hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, and floods.
After Katrina hit I received mops and a bucket from a disaster relief organization. From The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, I got my life back.
Following a natural or climate disaster, entire communities may be displaced from their homes, anxious, grieving, and traumatized. We offer concrete, evidence-based skills that help to soothe dysregulated nervous systems. The healing tools we share through our supportive model provide hope in the face of despair and loss.
