Mental Health After Another Disaster (July 16, 2024) – Houston Public Media

Houston Matters begins at 9:00 a.m. CT on 88.7 FM or listen online. Join the discussion at 713-440-8870, [email protected] or @HoustonMatters.

On Tuesday’s show: We’re still recovering from Hurricane Beryl, and hundreds of thousands of Houstonians are still in the dark. How soon will Houston get 100 percent power back? And could there be some light for those facing economic hardship? Also, what steps are city council members taking in response to the storm?

Also this hour: It’s been a tough week for many Houstonians: Beryl, extended power outages, deaths and violence in the news. We explore how to better take care of ourselves mentally after these latest systemic shocks.

Next, we discuss the history, challenges and future of Houston’s Freedmen’s Town and efforts to preserve its legacy.

We’re visiting Project Row Houses as part of our ongoing summer series that heads to museums and attractions in the Houston area.

Audio for today’s show will be available starting at 11:00 a.m. Central Time. We also have a free podcast here on iTunes, Stitcher, and other apps.
