The Midland Area Community Foundation and the Long-Term Recovery Group meet Thursday, May 13 at 10:30 a.m. via Zoom as the Great Lakes Bay Region approaches the one year anniversary of the May 19, 2020 flood that devastated the area.

This month’s topic is resilience. Presenters for Thursday’s session are Sarah Owens from Sarah Owens Consulting and Kathy Dollard, Director of Behavioral Health at MidMichigan Health. The session will include topics on resilience, including why a flood is considered a traumatic event, how trauma manifests and how to move forward.
