Here are some resources for people feeling stressed as a result of Northland flooding:

Red Cross caseworkers and trained health and mental health professionals continue to meet with affected residents both in the field and one-on-one. Those who would like to talk about their needs to the Red Cross should call the Northland chapter at (218) 722-0071.

The federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has set up a free disaster distress help line. Call this number for information, support and counseling, and to be connected to a local crisis center: (800) 985-5990. Or text "TalkWithUs" to 66746. The TTY number for the deaf and hearing-impaired is (800) 846-8517. More information is available at this website: www.disasterdistress.samhsa.gov .

Victims of Red River flooding formed an organization called Red River Resilience to help other people negotiate their way through disasters. Their website is www.redriverresilience.com .
