Free mental health support available for those needing assistance following last week’s floods

Several mental health organizations are providing free mental health support for those trying to cope after last week’s floods.  Mental health officials say seeking emotional support is just as important as rebuilding after a disaster and encourage anyone struggling with the aftermath of the floods to reach out.

K’STAR offers free counseling services for families with children ages 0 to 17 across 14 counties.  For more information call (830) 896-5404, or visit kstar.org.
