Three catastrophic rain storms and massive flooding in Niagara this summer left residents stunned, scared and reeling with the pressure of cleaning up.

In the days the after the flood, even a little rain triggered fear.  Trauma therapist Laurie Gill, executive director of Attach Niagara, talks about what many people are quietly carrying: flood trauma. When a home is damaged, routines collapse, and insurance questions pile up, it is not “just stress.” It is a nervous system response to something unexpected, out of your control, and deeply destabilizing.
