Post-Attack Resources

Written By Info at CBNO

We love you, New Orleans.

Hey neighbor,

I hope you're doing ok after yesterday's horrific attack on Bourbon St.  A Federal investigation is underway, and the City's emergency responses are in full swing. As information continues to emerge, we're sharing a roundup of resources for you here. Check out below for ways you can get or offer help in the wake of the crisis.

Above all, we're sending love, care, and peace to everyone impacted by this crisis, especially the victims and their families, survivors, witnesses and first responders, and residents and workers in the French Quarter and St. Roch. 

In Solidarity, 

The CBNO Team

First: Take Care of Yourself

Are you hydrated? Is there space to let go a little tension in your jaw? In the space between your eyebrows? Can your next breath be the deepest breath you've taken all day? Be gentle on yourself, and seek support if you need it. You're doing great.
