Natural Disaster Mental Health Project
Supporting mental health recovery for regional communities impacted by catastrophic flood events
Following one of the worst floods in the recorded history of NSW which impacted tens of thousands of people and caused widespread property loss across the NSW Northern Rivers region, the David Lynch Foundation of Australia has been teaching TM free of charge to people suffering from chronic flood-related grief, anxiety, trauma and PTSD.
DLF is working with referring doctors, psychiatrists, the Australian Government Public Health Network, and the Aboriginal Medical Corporation to deliver this critical trauma reducing project.
FLOOD SURVIVORS EXPLAIN HOW TM HAS HAS SEEN THEM THROUGH THE RECOVERY PROCESS
"
Traumas that I brought into the Marine Corps caught up and that led to a pretty detailed plan for suicide. TM worked for me, and it has worked for thousands of my brothers and sisters. It’s given me the opportunity not just to survive on earth but to thrive here and to live a life that is truly full of purpose, meaning, connection, and service.”
Paul Downs
US Marine Veteran
"
I put a loaded 45 my pistol to my head in front of my wife and young daughter and I was gonna kill myself.
I had consistently thought about suicide before I learned Transcendental Meditation.
It changed everything.”
Luke Jensen
Afghanistan War Veteran
"
It’s part of an overall healthy lifestyle. You become physically fit, you work out, you take care of your body. You do Transcendental Meditation and it helps take care of your mind.
The powerful part of that is that it physiologically improves your brain functioning.”
Stephen T. Rippe
Major General, US Army (Ret.)
