Helping to prepare individuals and families for an emergency


Mental and Emotional Preparedness


Preparation is Key:

Being mentally and emotionally resilient is the ability to adapt to challenges with courage and faith. We can learn skills to become more resilient and can help us prepare for the challenges of life. Some of these practices include building and strengthening our emotions, relationships with others, thoughts, and healthy coping skills. To stay mentally and emotionally resilient, we must learn to recognize and manage our own emotions and help others do the same. We can reach out for more help from friends, family, and qualified professionals when needed.

Develop Healthy Coping Skills:

1. Think of a time when you were in a dificult situation.

2. How did you react?

3. Review potential alternative reactions and responses.
