Baton Rouge 2016 Flooding Resources

We in the Baton Rouge area are deeply affected by the recent flooding.  Many of our family, friends, and neighbors have lost homes, vehicles, possessions, jobs, and lives.  As a community, we grieve together.  Those of us who live in this community know how strong and resilient we are and that we come together to help each other in times of need.  We celebrate each other and give of ourselves to our community.

Many people will experience trauma and stress as a result of the flooding.  Dr. Belaire is available to counsel adults, children, and adolescents who have been affected by this disaster.  To set up an appointment, call 225-291-1335 or email [email protected].
