Coping with Disaster-Related Stress
and a Struggling Economy?
We can help.
Stress is one of the major factors
known to influence the abuse of
drugs, alcohol and tobacco, as well
as substance abuse relapse. MECCA's
prevention staff is involved in a
state-wide campaign to decrease

presentations or distribute
informational resources to anyone in
Johnson, Cedar, Iowa or Washington
county who has concerns about
employees, customers, clients,

emotional impact from the recent
flood disaster and the economy.
Resources are available free of
charge. Contact MECCA's Prevention
