Heartland News: February 2008 Archives

Heartland Counseling mourns, with our community, the tragedy at Northern Illinois University. Our prayers and support go out to all who were affected by this painful event.

We have created a brochure which may help some recovering from this event. Download it here.

Those who were in the auditorium at the time of the shooting are not the only ones impacted by the event. People who have experienced past traumas may find that they feel more anxious after something hits this close to home. We all feel more vulnerable and events like that at NIU remind us that our world feels less safe.

While most of us rely on friends and neighbors to help us through such times some will find that the usual means of coping aren't enough. If you find yourself with symptoms of anxiety, sleeplessness or depression that don't lessen with the usual passage of time, please give us a call. The mental health professionals at Heartland are trained and equipped to help at times like these.
