The Big Island community is welcome to an informal talk and discussion of where folks impacted by the 2018 Kilauea volcano eruption are now.
The talk story sessions, part of a grant project funded by the Hawaii Psychiatric Medical Association, are slated for 9 a.m.-noon Saturdays, Aug. 31 and Sept. 28, at the Pahoa Community Center.
The project aims to show aloha and provide practical education about common reactions after a natural disaster and ways people cope.
Bentos will be provided.
The association and participants will talk about how the mind and body react to stress, as well as healthy and creative ways of coping with changes that occur.
The Hawaii Psychiatric Medical Association is a professional organization and branch of the American Psychiatric Association. Its goal is to support the community’s well-being through education and dialogue, and the association hopes to link with other groups involved in community recovery.
Additional resource sheets to accessing care, including telecare, also will be provided.
