“It’s no coincidence that four of the six letters in HEALTH are HEAL.” – Ed Northstrum

Local
The Nebraska Strong Recovery Project is actively supporting communities in Washington and Douglas counties following the devastating tornadoes that occurred in April of 2024. This grant-funded initiative, running through May 31, 2025, offers free, confidential mental health services to residents experiencing emotional distress as a result of the disaster. In addition to mental health outreach, the project works in collaboration with local organizations and state agencies to provide a wide range of recovery services, addressing both immediate and long-term needs.
The goal of the Nebraska Strong Recovery Project is to help residents heal socially and emotionally while rebuilding their lives. The initiative ensures that affected individuals and families receive the behavioral health support they need to cope with the impact of the tornadoes.
The project is committed to offering guidance and resources, making recovery more accessible to everyone impacted by this disaster. Residents can access these services by contacting Jennifer Sanders at 402-444-6573, Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 5 PM.
