Is anyone else feeling helpless after Hurricane Helene?

I'm a former journalist, lobbyist, mental health advocate and communications expert who's dealt with the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, several deadly Florida hurricanes and multiple mass shootings - most recently Covenant School in Nashville. 

 Now a communications consultant and strategist, I'm feeling a bit helpless after Hurricane Helene. I found a good article from Psychology Today about this topic and how we can dig deep within our own reserves to find answers. 

Ask yourself:

• What are my current strengths and resources?
• How can I draw from them and stretch myself to become more helpful?
• What small but somewhat risky step forward can I take?
• Could you donate your time, send money to a reputable charity, or offer your expertise?

I plan to somehow draw upon all my work and life experience to try and help. Stay tuned....
