Flood Support – October 2022
Recent flooding has had a devastating effect on many in our community. Some people may be directly affected, whilst others may be impacted by the accounts of others.
People react to crisis in different ways. Some may be strongly affected and need immediate support. Some may seem calm at the time of an event but have strong reactions later. Some can manage their situation on their own or have support from other sources. All reactions are normal.
