Hurricane Recovery

 

The Terrorism and Disaster Coalition for Child and Family Resilience at LSU Health Sciences Center has compiled this list of resources and materials to help families recover from the mental and behavorial challenges post-disaster. Our heart goes out to all the families affected by Hurricane's Harvey and Irma and we hope this list helps them cope in this time of need. Feel free to reach out to our Center staff member Victoria Sacco (vsacco@lsuhsc.edu) or Progam Coordinator Rick Costa (rcosta@lsuhsc.edu) to request additional materials or receive updates on our work. This page may be periodically updated to include additional resources.
