CAY is holding its latest informal drop-in meeting for flood victims on Wednesday, August 2, and mental health specialists will be there.

A CAY spokesperson said: “Directly after the floods residents were focused on resolving housing and debt issues.

“But now time has passed, people have had the chance to reflect on the emotional impact of the flood and CAY regularly receive requests for referrals to counselling and support services.”

York Mind and Mainstay mental health service will be attending the meeting, along with Yorkshire Water. The Healing Clinic will also be available to provide free ’mini massages.’

These include Yorkshire Water, York Council emergency planning team, York CVS, the Healing Clinic, St Nicks, York Archaeological trust, Trading Standards, Age UK, Mind And Mainstay mental health services.
