Always bracing for the next one

Most people in the Houston area say they worry about flooding and extreme heat, and for many a night of heavy rain brings back memories they did not ask for. Storms here have taken out power for days, and with it sleep, food and income. The energy industry that employs so many neighbors has been cutting jobs, and the economy is now the concern residents name most. It is also a very spread-out region, where the drive between two friends can take an hour on a good day.

Why it helps

How peer support helps near Houston

Local research has found that feeling connected to the people around you is one of the strongest things you can do for your mental health. A peer group gives you that connection every week, with people who know what it is to watch the forecast, and you do not have to get on the freeway to reach it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to live in Houston to join?

No. Groups meet online, so you can join from Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Pearland, Pasadena, Conroe, League City, Galveston or anywhere else.

Heavy rain still makes me anxious. Is there a group for that?

Yes. Members talk about this in groups for anxiety, trauma recovery and PTSD, and many have been through floods and storms themselves. Groups are peer support, and a licensed clinician is the right person to see if the memories are disrupting your daily life.

I work nights at the hospital. When can I join?

Groups run from early morning to late evening every day, so many members who work shifts join before work or after they wake up. You can choose a different time each week.

What happens if I lose power during a storm?

You can join the next meeting of your group once you are back online. Groups meet regularly, so missing one is never a problem.
