Dr. Kazaara has led powerful conversations on the emotional strain many men face while trying to “hold everything together.” As he reminds us:

🌧️ After the Storm — Standing Together for Healing and Recovery... continued

As we continue standing together for healing and recovery, we want to extend heartfelt thanks to all our local practitioners who have been volunteering their time and expertise to provide psychological support to those affected by Hurricane Melissa. 💚

However, the need is great, and we need all hands on deck. While local professionals are leading the charge, we also welcome the continued support of our diaspora, regional neighbors, and international partners to help meet the growing demand for psychological care.

Together, we can ensure that every response is safe, trauma-informed, and guided by qualified professionals, as we work toward healing, mind, body, and community.

Disasters can shake our walls, and our peace of mind.
It’s normal to feel anxious, restless, or afraid during these times.

Remember:
💭 Take slow breaths.
💚 Stay connected with your loved ones.
💊 Keep medication close and routines steady.
📞 And if someone’s struggling, offer a listening ear, not judgment.

We can’t control the weather, but we can care for each other through it.

Stay safe, stay calm, and look out for yourself and communities.
