Posted on 19. Apr, 2010 by admin in 2008 Flood, News and Links

The Ticket to Hope Program, provided by the Iowa Department of Human Services, is offering free mental health counseling sessions to victims of 2008 Iowa floods.

If you or your family were affected by the devastating 2008 storms in Iowa, you may be experiencing ongoing physical, emotional and financial stress. Ticket to Hope can help. It’s a free program and will help you regain a sense control over your life.

Ticket to Hope provides up to eight counseling sessions from a licensed mental health professional in your area. The program is managed through the Iowa Department of Human Services. You and your family are eligible to receive free counseling through Ticket to Hope if you meet the criteria below.

Unfortunately, the program is slated to expire at the end of June. Hopefully the Iowa DHS decides to continue the program.

People can call the Ticket to Hope hotline at 1-800-447-1985 for more information.
