SAFE HORIZON COUNSELING CENTER
PROJECT RESCUE AND RECOVERY
Serving public safety workers and their families affected by Sept. 11h Since September 11th:
- Have you felt less motivated/more fearful at work?
- Argued more with family member(s)?
- Felt more alone?
- Drank more?
- Had disturbing memories and/or dreams?
If you have experienced any of the above, you are not alone. Studies have found that the brave individuals and their family member(s) who were involved in rescue and recovery efforts after major disasters may continue to suffer effects that interfere with daily functioning.
