KERRVILLE, Texas — It is now more than six months since the devastating Fourth of July floods in the Texas Hill Country and while people and businesses continue to rebuild, the mental health impact remains.
On Thursday, the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country will share new research on how the deadly floods affected mental health in the region.
Even as people rebuild from this natural disaster, it can still cause anxiety and trauma. And the foundation wants everyone to know that mental health help is still available
At Thursday’s press conference, the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute will present findings from a mental health needs assessment done after the floods.
Right now, both groups have a family mental health care fund to provide free services to families who lost loved ones during the floods.
It started on the 4th of July and ends at the end of March.
On top of this work, the foundation will announce a new round of grants supporting mental health recovery and long-term community wellbeing.
The H. E. Butts Foundation will also speak at this event happening at 10 a.m. at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Kerrville.
