What is Project Recovery Iowa?
Project Recovery Iowa is a collaborative program administered by the
Iowa Department of Human Services designed to empower those affected
by disaster through educating them about disaster reactions, teaching
them coping skills, assessing them for individual needs, and linking
them to appropriate community resources. After crisis counseling
services have been provided, individuals may be referred to an
appropriate provider for ongoing care, if needed.

What is Crisis Counseling?
Crisis counseling is a strengths-based, outreach-oriented approach to
helping disaster survivors access and identify personal and community
resources that will aid the recovery process.

It consists primarily of supportive, educational, face-to-face
interventions with individuals and communities in their natural
environments.

Who Do I Contact?
The Iowa State University Iowa Concern Hotline will take initial
calls from any individual statewide seeking information or counseling
assistance. Iowa Concern Hotline will direct calls to the
appropriate crisis counseling provider serving the county. All calls
are free and confidential, and the operators are willing to assist
wherever possible.
