The entire Meadows Institute family is grieving with Texas and the country after the devastating flooding and tragic loss of life in the Hill Country. The scope of the disaster is beyond comprehension, and we offer our support to the families who are affected by this terrible event.

Processing a disaster on this scale can be difficult, especially for children, so Julie Kaplow, the Executive Vice President for Trauma & Grief Programs and Policy and the Executive Director of the Trauma and Grief Center at The Hackett Center for Mental Health, has created a guide known as “The Six S’s” to help parents and caregivers support their children and help them to cope. We welcome you to use and share this resource.

To Our Christi Center and Central Texas Community,

We are heartbroken by the recent flooding across Central Texas and the tragic losses that many families are now facing.

Our hearts are with every individual, family, and community navigating grief, uncertainty, and fear in the wake of this disaster. Christi Center knows that grief takes many forms and can surface during and after crises like these.

No one should have to grieve alone. Christi Center provides free, peer-based grief support groups in Central Texas. We help individuals find hope after the death of a loved one, and we are here to help process loss, find connection, and build resilience during these difficult times.

Christi Center’s intake line is available at: 512-467-2600, where we have a team of licensed therapists ready to help.

To further support you and your loved ones during this difficult time, Christi Center has compiled a guide of trusted resources, including immediate assistance, food and shelter services, and tools for helping children process trauma after a disaster.
