PROGRAM
Rhiannon Tonies - Crisis Counselor for Project Recovery with Community Action Coalition of South Central Wisconsin, INC
They are funded through FEMA when a Presidential Declaration is made in the aftermath of a disaster.
Disasters include natural or human caused occurances. One such example is covid.
Project recovery exists to help people manage and recover from trauma. In this case, covid is a global pandemic and effects everyone, which is different from natural weather disasters that effect one region. Covid also has a wider range of impact compared to other types of disasters.
They are focused on helping people cope with covid in our "new normal." The challenges change throughout the normal course of reacting to disaster. Problems can manifest emotionally, physically, cognitively, or behaviorally.
Some data from the CDC:
-18-25 year olds large increase in depression
-Females and people of color have higher reported levels of depression and anxiety
- Depression has quadrupled in the US adult population and 25% of adults in November reported they did not have access to the health care they need
