July Third Thursday
Hurricane Season is hereÂ
You're invited to join us as SCIMHA's Ashley Nelson presents on our newly developed resources to support children and families in South Carolina who are affected by hurricanes and their aftermath in their communities.
Together we will learn about the Hurricane Project and its role in disaster-affected communities. We will learn how Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) Consultation supports both disaster preparedness and response. And, we will explore SCIMHA's collection of resources that are available for children, families, and professionals in disaster contexts.
