Struggling due to a
Gulf Coast disaster?
Project Rebound can help.
All of us along the Gulf Coast have experienced stress of some kind following a disaster. Now, there is a team of caring professionals that can help you turn the tide and heal our community.

We’re available to help with:

• Emotional Issues

• Financial challenges

• Personal problems

 

Many people who experience stress have a strong desire to withdraw from others. Overcoming the tendency to isolate themselves requires strength and discipline. Call us, we can help you break those isolation barriers:

 

Talk:

It takes courage to reveal what you’re thinking and feeling. Talking can be comforting and healing. Talking is worth it.

 

Be with People:

Life doesn’t return to normal overnight when you’ve survived a disaster. But your life isn’t over. Being with other people helps you become happy again. If you, or someone you know, is experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t hesitate to call.
