On October 10, 2018 the Florida Panhandle was struck by a Category 5 Hurricane that caused unprecedented and wide-spread catastrophic devastation to the counties of Bay and Gulf which are located in the FL-002 district of northwestern Florida. As a result of this storm, a large percentage of the population was made homeless, jobless, and struggling to access basic needs and medical care. Life Management Center of NW FL, Inc. has an extensive history of providing mental health and substance use treatment services to these affected counties and was an integral part of Project Hope as part of Hurricane Michael community-based recovery efforts and was providing service to the impacted communities in shelters, parking lots, another other unconventional sites during and immediately after the storm. The goal of the Bay/Gulf Recovery Project is to identify those individuals who continue to struggle with recovery and to utilize evidence-based treatment approaches such as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment to address the continuing mental health and substance use crisis which has also had negative impacts on victims' ability to maintain stable housing, access to medical care, educational advancement, and employment stability.
