We are heartbroken over the devastating #TurkeySyriaEarthquake this week. Natural disasters like this one can incite or resurface mental health conditions like trauma & PTSD, grief, depression, anxiety, and more. Don’t hesitate to seek support if you’re feeling the effects 💚
Experiencing a weather-related disaster can be traumatic. It can be difficult to process the experience of being in serious danger, loss of personal belongings, displacement, and other related forms of loss. 
Natural disasters can also take the lives of loved ones, leading to large-scale loss and grief.
Understanding the state of the emergency can leave you feeling worried, uneasy, and anxious.
After a natural disaster like the #TurkeySyriaEarthquake, acknowledge that it is ok if your mental health is impacted. Seek out the support you need as soon as you can — the earlier the better.
