Post Tramatic Event Resources
Thank you!
Good Samaritans, helpful neighbors, and caring family members are key components of a thriving community. We greatly appreciate your willingness to help someone during their time of need until our volunteers arrive on the scene. Unfortunately, some of these incidents can be tragic and have unfavorable outcomes. Incident bystanders may struggle to cope with their experiences of these potentially traumatic events. If you’re experiencing any signs or symptoms related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or need to speak to someone to help put things into perspective, don’t hesitate to contact someone! These emotions are normal, and there are numerous resources available. All of the resources are anonymous.
In a life-threatening situation, please call 911 first.
