ORG W e often consider the physical dangers of emergencies – injuries from flying debris or car crashes, for example – but can overlook the mental impact associ- ated with such incidents. Crisis situations can result in loss of loved ones, debilitating injuries or traumatic stress that can change lives forever. And because these events are few and far between, they can be hard to deal with when they occur. Experts urge people of all ages who may be experiencing psychological distress as a result of natural disaster or incident of mass violence to seek the help of trained and caring professionals. THE SIGNS The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) identifies the following physical and emotional reactions as being warning signs for seeking professional assistance. • Irregular sleeping patterns. • Painful stomachaches or head- aches. • Anger or edgy attitudes. • Overwhelming sadness. • Increased worry or guilt. • Lack of energy or always feeling tired. • Drinking alcohol, smoking or using tobacco more than usual. • Using illegal drugs. • Eating too much or too little. • Not connecting with others. • Rejecting of help. HOTLINE HELP SAMHSA has set up a free hotline to assist United States citizens dealing with a traumat- ic event in their lives. The hotline is staffed by trained counselors from a network of crisis call centers located across the U.S. They are trained to provide crisis coun- seling for those who are in emotion- al distress caused by any natural or human-caused disaster, informa- tion on how to recognize distress and its effects on individuals and families, and tips for healthy cop- ing. The hotline’s counselors can also provide referrals to local crisis call centers. The confidential and multilingual hotline is available via telephone (1-800-985-5990) and SMS (Text ‘TalkWithUs’ to 66746).
