Message from the the NASW Texas Chapter regarding Hurricane Beryl:

As we assess the damage done by Hurricane Beryl, we know that many are without power and are evaluating their needs. We want to make sure we get the right resources to those in need. If you’re in the area impacted by the storm and have specific ways that we can help, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at: naswtex.naswtx@socialworkers.org.

In the meantime, the Texas Standard offers resources for safety and support, and ABC 13 in Houston provides additional ways to donate and seek help. The NASW Texas Chapter is here to keep social workers and our communities connected as we move forward. Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions or immediate needs.
