Hurricane Katrina

My heart goes out to those poor people in the ravaged areas of New Orleans and Mississippi, and others affected by Katrina. I am going to volunteer as a counselor via the American Counseling Association/Red Cross partnership. I will probably go in late October, since I must work around the schedule at my job. These people will need help and support for months.

When we can help a person process their trauma soon after it happens, most are more able to carry on and move forward. Otherwise, PTSD can set in over time. This can mean living with nightmares, hypervigilance, anxiety, and other symptoms.

I look forward to meeting these fellow citizens and hearing their stories. It is an opportunity for service and growth, and I welcome it. In the meantime, they are in my thoughts and prayers.
