    How people

    can cope with


    the effects of
    disaster in
    their lives
    Number 1

    Talk about it
    By talking with others
    about the event, you
    can relieve stress and
    realize that others share
    your feelings.

    Number 2

    Limit exposure
    to images of
    the disaster.
    Watching or reading
    news about the event
    over and over again will
    only increase your
    stress.

    Number 3

    Find time for


    activities you
    enjoy.
    Read a book, go for a walk,
    catch a movie or do
    something else you find
    enjoyable. These healthy
    activities can help you get
    your mind off the disaster
    and keep the stress in check.
    Number 4

    Find ways to
    help others
    Helping others can
    provide you with a
    sense of agency,
    purpose, control, and
    empowerment.
    Number 5

    Ask for help


    when you need
    it
    Help is available. Make an
    appointment with a mental
    health professional to discuss
    how well you are coping with the
    recent events. You could also
    join a support group. Don’t try to
    cope alone.
