What Now? Beyond Safety and Toward Recovery After the Wildfires
The disastrous wildfires that have ripped through our communities have left us grief-stricken, in shock, heart-broken, traumatized and more. Francisco Navarro, MD, CEO of ResWell Health and Melissa Johnson, PhD, CEO of the Institute for Girls’ Development and Flourish Therapy and Wellness Center share a deep passion for supporting community and mental health resilience.
On Wednesday, Jan 22nd at 11am-12pm (PST), they will come together for a webinar conversation to share their insights and experience as we collectively and individually take the next steps toward recovery. Most of us are now physically safe. But the journey of healing is just beginning.
Dr. Navarro and Dr. Johnson will address the questions they are hearing everyday from families and individuals. In response to these questions, they will share thoughtful and science-based wisdom about flexibility, self-compassion and compassion for others as we take our next steps, including:
- What are common responses to the losses and disaster in our community?
- What should we expect in terms of our emotions and energy (and our children’s emotions and energy) over the next weeks and months?
- I didn’t lose my home and I feel guilty for feeling so bad. What’s that about?
This conversation will be a safe place to learn what resiliency steps you can take to support your mental health as well as your children’s mental health.
Together, we will explore when and how to explore additional emotional support for yourself and for your family.
