Free counseling for teens and adults affected by the Four Mile Canyon fire
BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 13, 2010 -- Members of the Boulder Community are suffering from the impact of the Four Mile Canyon, and one local organization is stepping up to offer counseling for teens and young adults. Rocky Mountain Equi-Rhythm is offering ten free therapy sessions for individuals affected by the fire.
The Rocky Mountain Equi-Rhythm community at Joder Ranch understands the power of fire to create destruction and to bring the community together. Over the years and especially during the 2009 Olde Stage Fire, hundreds of firefighters and community members have stepped up to protect our historic ranch and herd of horses. We are grateful for those efforts and wish to give back to the community now.
A natural disaster like the Four Mile Canyon Fire rocks one's sense of safety in the world and can lead to increased anxiety, anger, depression, and acting out behavior. Early intervention helps relieve stress and reduces the impact of negative events on one's life. Seeking outside support can be especially important for families and communities that are experiencing loss together, because normal support systems are stretched thin.
