What is Project Recovery Iowa?
Project Recovery Iowa is a collaborative program administered by the Iowa Department of Human Services designed to empower those affected by disaster through educating them about disaster reactions, teaching them coping skills, assessing them for individual needs, and linking them to appropriate community resources. After crisis counseling services have been provided, individuals may be referred to an appropriate provider for ongoing care, if needed.
What is Crisis Counseling?
Crisis counseling is a strengths-based, outreach-oriented approach to helping disaster survivors access and identify personal and community resources that will aid the recovery process.
It consists primarily of supportive, educational, face-to-face interventions with individuals and communities in their natural environments.
Who Do I Contact?
The Iowa State University Iowa Concern Hotline will take initial calls from any individual statewide seeking information or counseling assistance. Iowa Concern Hotline will direct calls to the appropriate crisis counseling provider serving the county. All calls are free and confidential, and the operators are willing to assist wherever possible.
