What is Project Hope?

Project Hope provides free and confidential one-to-one or group counseling services for individuals impacted by Hurricane Sandy. Wherever you wish to meet - in your home, place of work, community centers, schools or houses of worship - trained crisis counselors can come to you.

In the months following Hurricane Sandy, many people find it helpful to have someone who cares, someone who listens - someone who can help them understand their reactions to the disaster and its aftermath. We help you think about options and find people or agencies that can assist with your disaster-related concerns.
