Cape Girardeau County & Surrounding Areas: We are thinking of you.
The flash flooding that just moved through our area was incredibly fast and severe. To everyone dealing with flooded roads, property damage, or the stress of checking on loved ones—please stay safe.
When skies turn dark and waters rise quickly, it takes a massive toll on our emotional well-being. Storm anxiety, hyper-vigilance, and panic are completely natural responses.
In this quick segment of Behavioral Health Bytes, we talk about why storms trigger these strong feelings and share practical tools to help manage storm anxiety and ground yourself when overwhelmed.
Take a deep breath, look out for your neighbors, and remember you don’t have to navigate this stressful aftermath alone. Community Counseling Center is here to help you find your way forward.
