WELLNESS TRAINING
This program seeks to help individuals and families recover from the life-altering events that occurred during and after Hurricane Katrina. The training is designed to enhance well-being and resilience through various workshops, which include education on post disaster stress, social-networking, coping skills to deal with the daily issues adults face and prioritizing the things that are most important in our lives. The emotional effects of a critical incident like a hurricane or other natural disaster are just as devastating as the physical effects, and people need to have a place to access information and garner community support.
The City of Pascagoula has signed on for this valuable training in Jackson County. "I'm glad we'll be able to provide those affected by the storm and the after effects with some of the resources they need during this time. We will be able to bring vital resources to communities and help continue the healing process for many individuals and families," said Jim Yancey, Director of the Community Coalition.
