Hurricanes can be a real nightmare, but what about the aftermath? A study conducted on Hurricane Ike survivors showed that while exposure to natural disasters can lead to mental and physical health problems, the majority of survivors actually showed resilience over time...

Here's what the study found:

🌟 Resilience was the modal response for survivors across multiple domains, including posttraumatic stress symptoms, depression, functional impairment, and days of poor health.

🧠 Over half of the survivors exhibited mental health wellness, while over a quarter showed general wellness across mental and physical health domains.

🌪️ Peri-event emotional reactions and community-level collective efficacy were significant predictors of both mental and general wellness, while loss of sentimental possessions or pets and disaster-related financial loss were negative predictors of mental health wellness.

So, while natural disasters can be tough, it's important to remember that resilience is possible. By focusing on our emotional reactions and building up our communities, we can find wellness even in the midst of the storm. 🌈
