Project RenewCrisis Counseling
If you live in a county or reservation that has a Presidential Disaster Declaration with individual assistance, you may be eligible to receive crisis counseling through Project Renew. Project Renew is a joint effort of the North Dakota Department of Human Services and Lutheran Disaster Response to help flood survivors build resiliency.

Check if your county or reservation has a disaster declaration.

Crisis counseling can assist you in understanding your situation and reactions, mitigating stress, reviewing recovery options, developing coping strategies, providing emotional support, and encouraging linkages with other individuals and agencies who may help survivors in their recovery process.

Call 2-1-1 to access counseling services.
