If your home was affected by the recent floods, the experience might well be affecting the emotional wellbeing of you and your family.
Living in difficult conditions, losing possessions, and feeling unsafe in your own home are just some of the issues that may make a difference to the way you feel at the moment.

Drying your property with fans and dryers and then dealing with building work can make normal family life difficult, not to mention the financial strain you may be experiencing from what has happened. You and other members of your family may feel depressed, stressed, anxious or even angry.
Has your property been affected by the floods?
The Environment Agency's site has practical advice for managing before, during and after incidents of flooding.
