After the tragic event that occurred in Shreveport, Louisiana officials and the Louisiana Department of Health encourage residents to take care of their emotional needs.
Governor Jeff Landry and Secretary Bruce D. Greenstein recognize that it is normal to experience reactions like shock, fear, sadness, anger, confusion, or numbness after such a traumatic event.
For immediate confidential support, just call, text, or chat Louisiana 988. Louisiana 988 connects individuals to specialists who provide free, confidential support 24/7 for any level of emotional distress, not just thoughts of suicide, but can connect callers to local care and crisis services through Louisiana’s Crisis Hub.
For residents in the Northwest Louisiana area, the Northwest Louisiana Human Services District is available. It provides behavioral health screenings, support, and treatment for the region.
Support is available, and no one has to go through this alone.
